Full description

After either gathering at the meeting point or being collected from your accommodation, you will make your way to Parque da Ribeira dos Caldeirões, located in the north-east part of the island. It takes around 45 minutes to drive from Ponta Delgada. Get the chance to do rappels, jumps, slides, and rock slides. Start your adventure by trying your first decent, abseiling alongside a waterfall of around 5 meters.

Continue your way down the river on an exciting water slide (toboggan), followed by the first jump of around 2 meters in height. Then enjoy wading through the river as you approach the second abseil of around 7 meters which ends in a natural pool.

There will be some time for the equipment distribution with the help of your guides before you take a short hike in order to approach the stream followed by a security briefing.

On average it is about a 20 to 35-minute hike, depending on the pace of the group. During the full-day option, you will stop for a picnic, and later finish the tour by returning back to town by car.

The overall experience was amazing! Our guides were very kind, polite and were mindful that not everyone in the group is as comfortable with heights and water. They were very patient and encouraging too! Had a lovely group of people too so that made it fun! Definitely recommend it!

This was so fun! It was just the right amount of time and activities. The equipment was good and meant I didn't get too cold. The guides take pictures on their go pro and send them to you afterwards. This is worth doing for a fun and novel experience.

It was a really great experience. If I have to conclude it I would say that it's not the usual boring tourist activity. You have to repel down from the waterfall and you have to jump down from 6 meters. You should not fear to try it though because the guides are professional also kind and funny.
