What is the zip line?
The zip line consists of sliding down a steel cable or rope between two points, generally located in a park where nature is present. In addition, there are other tests such as Tibetan bridges, vines or rappelling that make the activity even more fun.
Tips for practicing ziplining
Like any other sport, we must follow some recommendations that make it develop in the best possible way, without any type of incident and with everything necessary for us to have a good time.
- Company. Contact a professional company that has all the necessary requirements to carry out this practice. At Yumping we have many tree parks announced with which you can enjoy this experience. Filter by the province in which you plan to practice it and contact the centers that best suit you.
- Professionals. Make sure that all the material they have is approved and in perfect condition. In addition, it is mandatory that they have experienced instructors to guide you and explain how to do the tour.
- Companions. Do you need a companion to carry out the activity? It's not that it's mandatory, but... Who wants to enjoy a day full of adrenaline without anyone to share it with? The more you are, the better!
- Clothing. Go with comfortable clothing and shoes that allow you to perform all types of movements. It is not necessary to wear special clothing, but it is necessary to wear moderately sporty clothing so that you do not feel uncomfortable.
- Material. All the equipment you need will be lent to you by the company you go to. It is very important that you wear it and that they explain how to use it before carrying out the activity: helmet, harness, ropes, carabiners and pulleys, part, of course, of the relevant facilities.
- Security. It is very important that you respect the safety regulations that each company has. This way everything will go very well.
- Nothing in your pockets. You can lose what you carry while doing any of the tests on the route. You'd better leave everything in a backpack in a safe place in the park.
- Carry water. It may come in handy while you are doing the route and it won't get in the way, as you can leave it on the ground between circuits.
If you want to surprise the little ones at home, they will thank you, because there are itineraries specially designed for them and if you and your partner or the friends you go with prefer to go on your own doing another tour, you can do it at the same time.
