Canyoning baptism on São Jorge

Canyoning combines caving and climbing techniques, which are practiced according to various safety rules. Using a rope attached to a safety point (anchorage), the person descends the stream bed and overcomes the waterfalls. It is undoubtedly the most rewarding way to discover the pure and unspoiled nature and cross the many watercourses that this island offers for canyoning. It is a different way of getting to know this island and enjoying the most beautiful thing it has to offer: "wild nature".
It`s not necessary to be trained in canyoning or adventure sports to take part in a "canyoning baptism". This program is aimed at those who have no previous experience with this sport.
The program begins with a theoretical briefing where you will learn about your personal protective equipment (PPE) and how to use it correctly, as well as a few lessons on ropes, maneuvers and behavior.
"Baptism of canyoning" consists of abseils of no more than 20 meters. The aim is to enjoy a new experience as well as the natural environment, always with good humor, conviviality and safety.

The activity takes place from/to a specific meeting point (will be communicated in advance) and lasts approx. 3 hours.
Included services: necessary equipment, English-speaking guide, snack and insurance

Minimum age: 10 years
