Who's ready to take their weekend in Sofia up a notch? Besides hunter/gathering, canyoning presents man at his most adventurous and primal and we guarantee that you'll be jumping, sliding, tumbling and scrambling your way through some of Bulgaria's most breathtaking terrainin the Vlahi river. You'll explore deep river beds and rocks using professional alpine techniques and equipment but the showstopper is a magnificent rapel through a 35m waterfall.
Format:
A detailed introduction to the canyon will be followed by a description of the route you'll cover.
Before you set off you'll get kitted out in a wetsuit and helmet and have a safety briefing where you'll be told how to avoid getting your head split open on a massive rock. You'll then head into the wilderness where all your primitive instincts should kick in, nice and easy tiger!
Led by your guides you'll scramble over boulders, slide down water-smoothed rocks, and swim through waterfalls along the way and soon enough you'll find there's nothing like some icy white water to rid you of your hangover!
