You will follow a stretch of river, moving through a natural landscape where the route itself creates the thrill. Along the way you will face and overcome the obstacles the river presents, making your progress by walking, swimming and negotiating rocky terrain as the route requires.

As you move through the river corridor you will swim in natural pools and jump into lagoons set beneath giant cliffs. Eventually you will use ropes and other safety aids to perform rappels and other techniques that allow you to reach the end of the route. The sequence of swims, jumps and rope work will take you through varied river features and cliff-side sections, giving a mix of water-based and rope-assisted challenges from start to finish.
