Vira is a real entry level canyon for those who’d like to try canyoning. It’s suitable for families with small children and also for bigger school groups. It features two small slides, 3 jumps and 2 abseils. Almost everything is repeatable so the kids can play around and enjoy themselves.
It’s a really low water canyon so people with less swimming skills can also enjoy it.
