QUE ES C A N Y O N I N G ?...

El CANYONING es un deporte basado en la exploracion por descenso de los barrancos y cascadas que hay en un canon, es decir escalar/bajar por  bloques de piedra con caidas de agua, y lo pueden practicar todos aquellos que disfruten de la naturaleza. Para esta actividad se concentran varias tecnicas basicas de montanismo, como el Rapel, los saltos, el caminar y la natacion, aunque tambien hay canones que requieren habilidades fisicas especificas para superar las barreras naturales, que a veces se pueden tornar muy difi­ciles.  Solamente se necesita una condicion fisica aceptable, los implementos totalmente necesarios y tiempo para escuchar, entender, aprender y respetar los procedimientos rigurosamente indicados por el Instructor.

  WHAT IS CANYONING ?...

Canyoning, known in the United States as "canyoneering", is one of the fastest growing adventure sports in Europe.  It is also rapidly gaining popularity in the United States.  Canyoning is the art of exploring canyons by descending into them by rappel or other specialized technique.  Often the descent is surrounded by dramatic waterfalls which cascade into deep pools of water.

IS CANYONING SAFE ?...

Yes.  In Europe Canyoning is safely practiced each year by literally millions of people. 

Our guide will teach you all that you will need to know.  You will learn safe rappelling techniques as well as some basic climbing skills.

The round trip takes a full day.  We follow the Aconcagua Valley up to the Andes, a 60 minutes drive from Santiago or 90 minutes drive from Viña del Mar.   This takes us to our hut at "SIERRA DEL CONDOR", a privated marvel situated in the heart of the Chilean Central Andes.  From here we can access the canyon and its spectalucar waterfalls.

DO I NEED TO BE IN EXCELENT PHYSICAL CONDITION ?...

It is not a requirement for our trip.  We have a gentle 30 minute hike to the top of the canyon where we do some important instructions prior to proceeding down.  The descent is slow and non-strenous but is is also fun and exhilarating ...
