What to expect

This excursion starts and finishes at the Salto do Cabrito Waterfall, an amazing place located near to the city of Ribeira Grande and Caldeira Velha in São Miguel Island (+/- 20 minute drive away from the city of Ponta Delgada). When we get there, we will proceed with the equipment distribution and a safety briefing, followed by a walk of around 30 minutes on average until we reach the canyoning site where the fun will begin!

After a new briefing with a few more instructions, we begin the descent of this canyon, passing through several waterfalls and surrounded by the exuberant nature of this volcanic area.
The descent is made through several rappels (between 4 and 16 metres) and for unforgettable moments of fun, there is also the option of a zip-line. The highest rappel is approximately 16 metres and you can optionally make a jump of approximately 3 metres.

NOTE:

– The exact itinerary including jumps, rappel and other techniques will depend on local conditions and seasons. The terrain, landscape and flow of the stream normally change throughout the year.
