Canyoning is frequently done in remote and rugged settings and often requires navigational, route-finding and other wilderness travel skills. The Discover Tuscany Team is equipped with all of the above in order to offer you a safe yet exciting active vacation program.
Canyons that are ideal for canyoning are often cut into the bedrock stone, forming narrow gorges with numerous drops, beautifully sculpted walls, and sometimes spectacular waterfalls – just like those that you can find in Tuscany and PerugiaThe Discover Tuscany Team emphasis in this active vacation program is not as much the sport (though we are prepared for the technical aspects) as the aesthetics and fun. A wide variety of canyoning routes are found throughout Tuscany, Umbria and Italy, and canyoning is enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels with the Discover Tuscany Team and active vacation itinerary.

We had a wonderful time meeting your friends, seeing the beautiful countryside, and enjoying the great wine. We look forward to telling our many friends about you and your great services, and hopefully we can work with you on a villa at some point in the future.

Darren and Anna wrote.... Our favorite moment by far Guido, and we're not kidding, the best experience of our lives to date was our day with you. We will remember this day forever, and we're telling people back home mostly of that day, so it really meant a lot to us you brought us there. Thank you so much!

Christina with her great experience and knowledge of the area put together an unforgettable experience which satisfied several of my interests including food, wine, art, culture, and walks through the countryside. Guido added even more to the experience with his local knowledge, contacts, positive energy, and his light hearted and friendly manner. The small group of women that Christina put together for this trip couldn't have been better. She is very sensitive to the needs of the group and obviously has the respect of her many terrific contacts in this region."
