Activity that involves descending Ribeira da Pena (Góis) on foot, using jumps into the water, toboggans , climbing , rappelling and crossings through the water. This stream runs through a steep and steep valley, whose bed, banks and slopes are formed by impressive cliffs that make this place almost inaccessible. For this reason, this valley still serves as a refuge for exclusive and rare plants and animals . This is the most spectacular river in the Central Region , where the inhospitable and wild scenery (made up of countless waterfalls, lagoons and imposing rocks) combines with the exuberant vegetation and peculiar wildlife.
The following material is provided by the organisation for canyoning: neoprene suit, neoprene socks, personal protective equipment (helmet, harness, descender), own backpacks, bags and watertight drums . This canyoning has an initial rappel of 35 metres to enter the river ( optional – the organisation decides whether to do it depending on the group and weather conditions). There are around a dozen optional jumps of various heights. The entire progression is carried out along the course of the river (outside or in the water), using climbing and jumping from stone to stone. At the end it is necessary to walk for around 30 minutes to reach the village of Ribeira Cimeira.
Recommended seasons: spring, summer and autumn (April to October).
