We know that canyoneering is a MUST-DO adventure, but do we know what it actually means?
In most parts of the world canyoning or canyoneering is done
in mountain canyons with flowing water. It is the sport of
exploring a canyon by engaging in such activities as jumping and diving,
scrambling, rappelling, trekking, sliding on strong flow of water over a real
ROCK slide down to waterfalls and swimming.
Canyons that are ideal for canyoonering are often cut into
the bedrock stone, forming narrow gorges with numerous drops, beautifully
sculpted walls, and sometimes spectacular waterfalls.
Most canyons are cut into limestone, sandstone, granite or basalt,
though other rock types are found. Canyons can be very easy or extremely
difficult, though emphasis in the sport is usually on aesthetics and fun rather
than pure difficulty. A wide variety of canyoneering routes are found
throughout the world, and best done in South Cebu Philippines where people all
over the world come to try it. Canyoneering is enjoyed by people of all ages
and skill levels.
