Our Journey Path (as featured in Treks in a Wild World)

Start our journey at the bottom of steep mountains and ascend to a good mid way point to begin the canyoning, There are several routes that can be taken, but going over water and negotiating steep crevices provides the biggest adrenaline rush. Zay Harding and his guide Roman Erler climb through valleys and over waterfalls, having some pretty hairy experiences along the way. The climbing and judging distances, as well as hoisting your weight up along the way can prove to be very strenuous and extremely tiring as our presenter learns. You should be in peak physical condition for the climb, and remember to pace yourself as you will be participating for several hours.

Highlights

- The rush that comes from conquering the steep cliffs and precipices
- Seeing breathtaking views
- Enduring the considerable physical strain of the trek.

travellers tips

Canyoning is a dangerous sport and you should never attempt to do it without a highly experienced guide to assist you throughout. You should always be attached to a safety rope for safety. A good cardiovascular workout, concentrating on the upper body, is particularly recommended for this sport.
