Once we begin to descend you will find a huge variety of abseils, slides through natural chutes, and jumps into narrow fissures with crystal clear pools.

Karola
"It's a ton of fun and excellently organized. I felt completely safe with the equipment. The guides are very, very nice. There could have been more water, but that was due to the weather, and you can't blame anyone... In one sentence: we'd do it again in a heartbeat... and I have to add one more thing: we're not the youngest anymore... 59/63... and we still had a blast."
