São Miguel: WaterPark Canyoning Ribeira dos Caldeirões

Get ready to dive into the wild beauty of Ribeira dos Caldeirões Natural Park! Your adventure begins at the designated car park, where our expert canyoning guides will be waiting to greet you and ensure you’re fully prepared for the experience ahead.

Before we start, we’ll make a special stop at the majestic “Véu da Noiva” waterfall—a picture-perfect moment to capture a memory that will last a lifetime.

From there, we embark on a 10-minute scenic hike through lush greenery, surrounded by the rich biodiversity of the Azores. Along the way, you’ll discover native and exotic flora, including the aromatic Incense tree, towering Japanese Cryptomeria, vibrant Conteiras, and the prehistoric Tree Fern.

At the first briefing stop, we’ll share essential hiking and communication tips before continuing for another 10 minutes toward the first waterfall. Here, our guides will provide a step-by-step introduction to rappelling (abseiling)—the safest and most exciting part of the experience!

With confidence built, it's time for action! You’ll rappel 7 meters down the rock face, with the exhilarating option of a zipline! From there, we navigate the riverbed for about 5 minutes, reaching a natural rock slide/toboggan—a thrilling way to let the water guide you downstream!

For those feeling adventurous, a 3-meter jump awaits—a great opportunity to challenge your fears and experience the rush of free-falling into crystal-clear waters. Not feeling up for it? No worries! There’s always an alternative route to bypass any obstacles you’re not comfortable with.

Continuing the adventure, we take a short 5-minute trek to a 6-meter abseil, where safety is our top priority. With harnesses secured and guides ensuring every step, you’ll descend in the heart of breathtaking surroundings—an ideal moment for another stunning photo op.

Feeling the thrill and newfound confidence, we make our way back along the same trail, carrying the energy of accomplishment and the joy of overcoming challenges. But before wrapping up, we offer an optional 6-to-8-meter jump—an ultimate adrenaline rush, provided conditions allow for it!

To finish on a high note, our guides are there to share insider tips and recommendations on the hidden gems of São Miguel so you can continue exploring this magnificent island.

This activity is perfect for families, friends, couples, groups, and solo travelers looking for an adventurous and exhilarating way to explore the natural beauty of the Azores. And don’t forget to smile – our team will be capturing those special moments for you to cherish later!
