style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canyoning is said to have originated in France.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not well known to the general public, but in the United States, it is called canyoneering and is a popular sport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of this article, I explained that canyoning is an outdoor sport that involves descending a canyon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it is called a sport, the content is designed to get the body moving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The amount of exercise is so hard that it can be compared to any sport you can imagine in your daily life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for this is that canyoning is a process that requires completing multiple outdoor sport elements as you descend a mountain stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, we must go upstream to descend the mountain stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This creates the element of trekking and mountain climbing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the actual descent of the river will include climbing-based elements, such as rappelling, rappelling and other rope work, as well as river swimming and canoeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It's pretty hard to imagine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, did you know that \"shower climbing\" is an outdoor sport similar to canyoning?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While canyoning is \"canyon and stream descent,\" shower climbing is \"canyon ravine climbing,\" which is a more demanding sport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are proud of your physical fitness, please experience it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these water sports take place in a cool and beautiful river, making them perfect for the hot summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The appeal of canyoning lies in the ability to feel at one with nature while enjoying beautiful scenery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is trekking and climbing to the starting point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another attraction is the high activity factor, such as enjoying the waterfall as a waterslide when going down the canyon, or jumping into the waterfall basin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though you will be descending a canyon, you will rarely use canoes or other equipment, allowing you to fully enjoy nature with only your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, physical strength is also required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, canyoning is expected to have both a high exercise effect and a healing effect, in which the power of nature relaxes both body and mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also effective in building endurance, muscle strength, and improving cardiopulmonary function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

paved paths, but rather naturally created paths and non-paved paths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, compared to other sports, it must be said that it is a dangerous outdoor sport that inevitably causes more accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To enjoy canyoning without causing an accident, be sure to wear safety gear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first piece of safety equipment that must be worn is a helmet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canyoning is done in a watery area, so there is a possibility of slipping and falling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is essential to protect the head in such cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, \"shoes\" to prevent slipping on the feet and \"gloves\" to protect the fingers must also be specially prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canyoning involves going underwater to reach your destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it is recommended that \"wet suits\" and \"life jackets\" be prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Helmets, wetsuits, and life jackets can be rented from the tour company if you join the tour.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring your swimsuit, towel, eyeglass band, spare contact lenses, and goggles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beginners can enjoy canyoning in a safe field with professionals on tours, so please feel free to try it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be dangerous if safety precautions are not taken, but it is a safe and enjoyable sport if the rules are followed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to follow the instructor's instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(2) Selecting the right field for your level<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beginners should always be accompanied by a professional or instructor to enjoy canyoning in a safe environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the trek to the starting point to the way down the canyon, you will be guided to complete the outdoor sports elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, the degree of difficulty varies depending on the canyon, so it is important to choose the field that best suits your skills and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proceeding on your own increases the risk of accidents and injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be very careful not to cause accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, if you are a beginner, not only the location but also the season in which you experience canyoning is important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there is a trekking component, it is best to go in summer because you will be descending through the canyon while entering the river and waterfall basin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are planning to take on this challenge, please consider the season as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take it easy and enjoy canyoning at a level of difficulty that suits you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
