Canyoning, known in the United States as "canyoneering", is the art of
exploring canyons by descending into them abseiling and jumping waterfalls
and cliffs, cascading down natural chutes and water slides, swimming
through crystal clear pools and using special rope systems, such as flying
foxes.
This adventure takes place in a deep river gorge where the water has cut a
path through the rock, creating countless waterfalls and deep pools.
It's fun, it's exhilarating, and it's a wild journey in spectacular
scenery of lush rainforest!
There is usually a small amount of hiking required to access most courses,
but once in the canyon, nearly 80% of the time is spent in the water.
All equipment, (diving suit, helmet etc) is already included in the
price. You only need to wear a swimsuit and some trekking or strong tennis
shoes.
Do I need experience?
No, all of our courses can be enjoyed by first time canyoners. We will
teach you the all of necessary techniques for a safe descent during the
tour.
Do I have to be fit?
Only a moderate level of fitness is required. We have a gentle 30 minutes
hike to the top of the canyon where we do some instruction prior to
proceeding down. The descent is slow and non-strenuous but it is also fun
and exhilarating!
How long is the trip and where do we go?
The round trip takes a full day or half day.
Canyoning is possible nearby Orvieto (20 minutes by car). It is a "medium
difficult" excursion with the presence of lakes and waterfalls. You need
to be healthy, in good shape, and able to swim. As the canyon is empty
during summer time, I will let you know more about the feasibility of the
excursion beginning of June.
The excursion lasts for 5 to 6 hours. All the equipment you need (diving
suit, helmet etc) is already included in the price. You only need to wear
a swimsuit and some trekking or strong tennis shoes.
Canyoning is also possible at the nearby Cascata delle Marmore (20 minutes
by car). It is a relatively easy excursion with presence of waterfalls. It
also lasts for 5 to 6 hours( full day trip) or for 2 to 3 hours (half day
trip, good for the joungest children). No swimming skills are required.
The canyon (full day trip) is accessible all year. The equipment you need
(diving suit, helmet etc) is already included in the price. You only need
to wear a swimsuit and some trekking shoes or strong tennis shoes.
Do tours run in bad weather?
Depends. We can run tours in a certain amount or rain, but it is likely
that we will cancel tours in the event of heavy rain. If this occurs, we
can give you the option of changing to a whitewater arfting tour, which
will run in any weather.
All the equipment you need (diving suit, helmet etc) is already included
in the price. You only need to wear a swimsuit and some trekking or strong
tennis shoes.
For the reservation I need to know the exact date of your
visit, the kind of excursion you choose, the number of participants, their
age, their size and height.
