Summary:
Sébastian was a trustworthy and cheerful guide who led us through the gorge safe and sound and patiently explained everything before each obstacle. The panorama on the way to the meeting point was also wonderful.
You should bring your own swimwear and sturdy shoes. The rest of the equipment is provided by the provider.
This was my third canyoning trip and I thought it was really great. There was a good mix of abseiling, jumping and sliding.
I can recommend it without reservation
