Word origin

The term 'canyoning' originates from the word 'canyon', which comes from the Spanish word 'caรฑรณn'. 'Caรฑรณn' is derived from 'caรฑa', meaning reed or cane, which refers to the narrowness of canyons resembling a long thin reed. The practice of traveling through canyons dates back to ancient times, but the modern sport of canyoning has developed significantly since the 1970s, particularly in Europe. In places like the French Alps, canyoning became increasingly popular as outdoor enthusiasts sought adventure in natural landscapes. The activity combines elements of hiking, climbing, and swimming, which adds to its appeal. Today, canyoning is enjoyed worldwide, with various guided tours and courses available for adventurers of all skill levels.
