Canyoning

Discover Portugal’s natural beauty: canyoning in the heart of the country

In Portugal, canyoning is becoming increasingly popular, and rightly so. The country has some of the best canyoneering spots in Europe, with crystal clear waterfalls, stunning rock formations and natural pools that will take your breath away.

The activity involves descending steep canyons using various techniques such as abseiling, sliding and jumping into natural pools. It is a thrilling experience that will test your physical abilities and give you unforgettable memories.

Best time for canyoning in Portugal

The best season for canyoning in Portugal is from May to October. During this period, the weather is usually sunny and dry, so the water levels in the canyonings are low.
