Aqua trekking in the Verdon gorges

Swim in the emerald water, walk to avoid the overcrowded rapids, and jump into clear water pools….

The Verdon canyon has many places that are inaccessible on foot, due to the cliffs that border it. The only way to discover these wild areas is to swim in the river. The dam located 25km upstream of the entrance to the canyon regulates the flow of this river. It allows us, when the level is optimal, to explore the treasures of the canyon by letting ourselves float.

Aqua trekking is a peregrination along the water, with your head perched in the flight of vultures, in the middle of immense cliffs that have stood the test of time. It is a mixture of history, adventure, a spectacular environment with shady shapes and sometimes exotic colors. Also, learning the currents that will carry you to the bottom of this « abyss ».

 

Aqua trekking equipment:

A neoprene  wetsuit
a neoprene jacket
Neoprene socks
a buoyancy aid (life jacket)
a helmet

You only have to bring a pair of sports shoes and a swimsuit.

And…..  You must know how to swim!
