... que pueden ser desde tirarse en tirolina, hacer rappel, espeologia, orientación, construcción de balsas, de puentes, etc..., todo ello en diversos entornos (**montañeros, acústicos de ciudad**)..

Explanation:
This is just a guess/suggestion... I am wondering if they are referring to an environment of sorts, as you would find in an acoustics enclosure or 'cabina', sort of like a virtual reality environment...

Explanation:

I would go for this wording, which in a sense combines part of the already suggested answers. This covers "entornos" "acústicos" and "de ciudad", IMHO. Hope it helps.
