No Experience Required

You step off the van and the air changes—cool, mineral-scented and threaded with the sound of water daring you forward. Guides clip on helmets and harnesses; the canyon ahead narrows into shadowed stone where sunlight skips along wet walls. For the next hour you move through channels carved by meltwater, sliding, downclimbing and committing to a first rappel that drops about 10 meters into a pool below.

Adventure Tips

Arrive Ready to Get Wet

Wear a swimsuit and quick-dry layers under the provided wetsuit to stay comfortable during prolonged exposure to cold water.

essential

Footwear Matters

Use closed-toe, grippy canyon or river shoes—regular sneakers slip on algae-slick rock and lose traction fast.

warning

Communicate Any Limits

Tell guides if you’re uncomfortable with rappels or jumping—guided alternatives are available and commonly used.

info

Hydrate Beforehand

Canyoning is short but intense; drink water before you arrive since in-canyon hydration is impractical.

essential

Recommended Gear

Swimsuit

Wear under your wetsuit so you stay comfortable during long wet periods.

Essential

Sturdy water shoes or canyon shoes

Provides grip on slippery rock and protection from sharp riverbed stones.

Essential

Quick-dry layers and a warm change of clothes

You’ll want dry clothes post-trip; temperatures drop quickly once wet.

Essential

Small dry bag for valuables

Keeps keys and phone dry at base—most operators offer secure storage for the canyon.
