Rappelling, which consists in descending a vertical wall, started as an auxiliary climbing technique, but after some time, it became an activity in itself. Using a rope, you let your body slide down, controlling the descent speed with a friction-brake system. You will be able to enjoy the adrenaline generated by the sensation of hanging at an altitude comparable to that of a six-story building.

In Mendoza, you will find perfect places to practice this activity. Just a few kilometers away from Mendoza City, there are beautiful areas with walls up to 40 meters which are ideal for rappelling.

Generally, the adventure tourism companies combine this activity with short trekkings, rock climbing, canopy or horse-riding. You will be able to find different activity packages according to every person's taste and ability.
