The Vara River is one of the few Ligurian rivers with rapids that allow you to try out water sports such as rafting and canyoning, two different sports united by the passion and the spirit of adventure of those who practice them.
Rafting is a fully-fledged sport consisting in navigating a stream on a particular unsinkable and self-emptying raft. The crew (4-8 people) steers the raft among the rapids thanks to the paddles.
Canyoning is not considered an extreme sport, although it takes place in an inhospitable environment: it consists in descending in watercourses not on a boat, but on foot.
You must proceed following the direction of the water, walking, diving or following natural slides dug into the rock. In this case too, we talk about a sport to be practiced always in a group (basically a minimum of 4 people).
