River trekking

With safety equipment and an experienced coach, a participant can gradually master the skills needed to walk upstream.

The particular nature park was featured on GMA 7's now defunct reality show Extra Challenge.

The South African version of river trekking is called kloofing and has gained a similar following from both an informal recreational and commercial point of view.

There are occasional accidents in river trekking, including falls from steep cliffs or waterfalls, drownings, exhaustion, or getting lost.

Sudden changes in weather, like rainstorms, can cause rapid rises in the level and speed of the river water.

Also, the number of viable paths and climbing areas inside the river valley could be reduced suddenly in a very short period.

Steep cliffs inside river valleys require a certain level of rock-climbing skills.
