Canyoning Baños Ecuador
RAPELLING DOWN CANYONS AND WATERFALLS
Canyoning is a spinoff of spelunking in which you repel down narrow canyons or waterfalls.
The topography of the region is very important for canyoning and Ecuador offers
a plethora of ideal sites, especially in Baños where you will find mountains, volcanoes,
rivers, and waterfalls.
All of our guides are trained according to the International Safety and Security
Standards and they will teach you the techniques of repelling so that you can feel
safe while showing off your new skills.
