HISTORY

The first attempt of this thrilling sport was believed to be taken in the French land by the man named Edouard Alfred Martel. He is known as the father of the Canyoning. Martel with the group of friends went to explore the plateau of Camprieu which was about 1300 m of the underground cavity. But the first ever successful canyoning was done in ;Gorges du Verdon’ in 1905 by the Martel. This canyon was one of the largest canyons in Europe which  is about 15 km in height.
