Brief description:

The inner part of São Miguel Island hides streams and waterfalls that one can enjoy through Canyoning. The activity begins with the distribution of equipment to the participants, followed by a 20 minutes short walk until the entry section of the canyon (stream), where we held the safety briefing.

Along the way there are waterfalls in which progression is done using the rappelling technique (highest waterfall is 8 meters), alternating with small walking sections and a more playful section (slides and a 4 meters jump).
