Itinerary and highlights

For those who have always dreamed of going down a river, among waterfalls, crystal-clear pools and rocky cliffs, then you will certainly love Canyoning in Rio de Frades!

With the right safety equipment and experienced monitors, it certainly won't be a problem to avoid the many waterfalls you will encounter. We will use various techniques, such as rappelling, jumping into the water and sliding using ropes.

At the end, a short walk will allow you to cross, underground, an old mine in the old Rio de Frades tungsten complex, explored by the Nazis during the Second World War.
