Descent of ravines

This is a fascinating sport that enables you to visit some beautiful and out-of-the-way places. Anyone can have a go as there are canyons and gullies for everyone from beginners to experts. Basically, you follow the course that has been forged by water through the mountains over thousands of years. You need ropes and climbing gear for abseiling if necessary, depending on the characteristics and peculiarities of each ravine. Remember that some gullies are out of bounds for canyoning. Please respect the regulations strictly.
