What to expect

Level I canyoning is for those who never tried the sport and those who, having done it, seek fun without worrying about knowledge about maneuvers with cables. It is usually practiced on the south side of Madeira Island.

It's a very safe sport due to the use of high-tech equipment. Emotion and adrenalin are certainly a part of canyoning, and the fact that one is in permanent contact with nature allows clients unforgettable moments of harmony, freedom, and well-being

The approach to the canyoning takes about 5 minutes until the river, and about 15 minutes between the exit to the house to change clothes.

Number of waterfalls: 6
Number of jumps: 3 (all optional)
Longest abseil: 15 meters
