It is done mostly on foot, sometimes swimming, occasionally climbing down rocks, jumping into water from various heights, or using rappelling techniques. You will also slide down fun natural water slides while navigating the narrowest parts of the river or stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you do canyoning?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you need the specific equipment like in any other sport. Next, locate the place you want to practice that meets the optimal conditions. Get informed about the itinerary and all its sections. Then, the technical part is to safely descend the canyon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At what age can you do canyoning?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no specific age limit but an appropriate attitude is required. Recommended from 8 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is canyoning difficult?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canyoning is not difficult if you choose the canyon based on your physical abilities and preparation level. It is considered a sport for all ages from 8 years onwards. If after trying a canyon you want to increase difficulty, that\u2019s no problem. Just start with beginner canyons and follow your guide\u2019s instructions for an easier descent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is canyoning dangerous?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like all adventure and risk sports, there is some danger involved. To reduce risks, which always exist, it is essential to follow safety rules. Choosing the right canyon and evaluating conditions helps reduce danger. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to do canyoning with an official certified guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What type of shoes are used for canyoning?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are specific canyoning shoes, but if you don\u2019t have them, trekking boots with grippy soles and ankle support or running shoes with good traction are recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if I have vertigo?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our experience shows that even people with vertigo or fear of heights can enjoy canyoning. It depends on your attitude, the guide\u2019s experience, and the canyon. We offer canyons based on your preferences but please be honest and inform us in advance of any fears or health issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if I don\u2019t want to jump?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most canyons don\u2019t require mandatory jumps. You can use other methods like rappelling. In some descents, you can avoid exposed areas by going around the canyon margin. It\u2019s best to discuss this with your guide before choosing a canyon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if I\u2019m not in good physical shape?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry. Contact us and we\u2019ll help you choose a canyon that doesn\u2019t require high fitness but can still be fun and enjoyable. Ideally, you should be accustomed to walking on uneven terrain and be ready to challenge yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if I can\u2019t swim?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, swimming skills are mandatory for canyoning, but not all canyons have deep pools. Sometimes water only reaches knee or waist height. If not, precautions are taken. The most important thing is to notify the guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important Note<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any physical complications or medical conditions, inform the guide or company from the start. If you\u2019re asthmatic or need medication, give it to the guide to carry during the activity. You are fully responsible if you fail to disclose this, and the activity will be cancelled immediately for safety reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-750 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mundocanyon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/whatsap35.png\" alt=\"Hacer Barranquismo en Lleida\" width=\"35\" height=\"35\" \/> \u00a0<strong>671096436<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canyoning in the Pyrenees Canyoning, also known as gorge walking or canyon descent, is the trending sport in the Catalan Pyrenees, ideal for anyone looking to live an unforgettable experience or to improve upon a previous one.
