There are easily dozens of reasons why people practice canyoning and among these, we’ll never underline enough its power to take us away from our daily routine with its deadlines, duties, and all the rest.
The level of intensity at which canyoning enthusiasts immerse themselves in this sport is what literally makes them take a break from themselves sometimes without even realizing it, at least not right away.
Inside the very heart of nature, you get the privilege of exploring sites of rare beauty (and we become what we absorb!) sliding through its veins as a rush of adrenaline rushes through yours and connecting at the same time with friends or new acquaintances who are witnessing the same magic you are experiencing. A million words wouldn’t do!
