RIVERS

ACTIVITIES

Among the different activities offered by rivers and ravines, apart from hiking, are adventure sports, among which is the descent of Barrancos (“Canyoning”), being one of the Adventure sports most practiced in the present. It consists of advancing with rudimentary means, through canyons, ravines or mountain rivers, on foot, swimming and avoiding the different difficulties that we find in the descent, by means of rappels, descents and jumps. This sports practice has different techniques and specific technical materials.
