Canyoning Tour to Ribeira dos Caldeirões
Sao Miguel islandCanyoning places the human being in the pursuit of nature: bonded to rock walls, suspended from heights, it allows him/her to invade water courses and to imitate their rhythm with their body, in a pulsing sensation of the sun, of the breeze, and of the moss.
In the most beautiful Ribeira dos Caldeirões, the ascending route works on the muscles and prepares the limbs – the path alongside the stream is next, walking through its reliefs, detours, and flat points.
Hanging over luxurious vegetation makes us feel the power of nature as if we were as strong as the vines and as graceful as the stems.
Suspended from the rock in a rhythmic balance, with the falls and the water, we become another extension of nature, moving towards the light.
