Standing at the lip of a narrow Tuscan gorge, the river below hurries like a dare — cold, clear water threading between sculpted rock faces and mossy ledges. Wild canyoning in Tuscany turns that impulse into an itinerary: swims through pocket pools, natural slides cut smooth by centuries of flow, and short jumps into deep basins where the current nudges you downstream.

Wear grippy water shoes
Closed-toe shoes with a sticky rubber sole reduce slipping on wet rock and improve control on entries and exits.
Hydrate and eat a light snack
