All about the trip
This Canyoning Tour takes your through one of our more physically challenging routes, taking you into the depths of nature, in the wildest and greenest part of the island. We will hike through the forest, slide down the river, jump from the tops of wonderous waterfalls and rappel down this deep canyon…Undoubtedly, the most thrilling and adventurous way to experience Azorean nature up close in one of the most beautiful locations on the island.
This excursion takes place in Ribeira da Salga, located in the northeast part of the island of São Miguel, between the parishes of Lomba de São Pedro and Salga (+/- 40 minute drive away from the city of Ponta Delgada). Upon arrival, we will proceed with the distribution of equipment and a quick safety briefing, followed by a 30 minute hike towards the start of the canyon where the fun will begin!
From this tour, you can expect a wild and almost untouched nature, with difficult access, some steep paths, and a lot of physical exercise. The highest rappel can reach up to 16 meters, and the highest jump up to 9 meters (if you feel uncomfortable about the jumps, know that there are alternatives).
Ending with an uphill climb back to our starting point. We will end our trip with a well deserved picnic style lunch at a local park.
