Itinerary

This activity takes place in the Parque Natural de Ribeira dos Caldeirões, one of the most extraordinary places in the northeast part of the island of São Miguel, about 45 minutes drive from the city of Ponta Delgada. As we prepare, we proceed with the distribution of equipment and, subsequently, we begin a short walk of about 15 minutes to our first safety conditions check or our first safety briefing.

Then, we continue to climb, then a stop for our second safety briefing. At that height, we demonstrate how to rappel, before advancing for about 10 more minutes to the starting point of the canyoning, where real fun begins!

Once at the top of the first waterfall, you will begin the second part of your adventure. You will be able to experience several jumps between 2 and 7 meters high, (all optional), a natural slide and some rappels (between 5 and 15 m high). At the end of the adventure, we return to the starting point of the first part.
