Tour programme
- Preparation
We meet at our shop in Caniço, at the booked time. If you are arriving by car, you will find both free and paid parking spaces available, in front of our store. We will then travel together to the canyon in one of our minibuses. After a short walk through a rural area, we will reach the starting point, and our adventure will begin. You can leave your personal belongings either at our shop or in the minibus to keep them safe while you explore the canyon. Once everyone is equipped with our high-quality gear, we will be ready to proceed.
- Tour
To ensure everyone starts with confidence, we will provide a brief safety briefing before reaching a distinctive tree, which will serve as our starting point. Within the canyon, you will be treated to numerous breathtaking sights. We will encounter four different rappels at varying altitudes (the highest being 17 meters), as well as small jumps and waterslides. However, there is no need to worry, as nothing is compulsory, and alternative routes are available if needed.
- Return
After our thrilling canyoning experience, we will walk during 15 minutes through ancient terraces to reach the minibus. Along the way, we will have the opportunity to reminisce about these unforgettable memories as we make our leisurely return to our shop.
