Canyoning in Portugal : Porto Adventure Travel

Canyoning is the descent of rivers in mountainous areas. The use of different techniques and proper equipment allows the progress through the most complicated and remote canyons. It is an activity that leads to great discoveries, superb sceneries and full of picturesque places. Enjoying refreshing waterfalls and crystal waters is certainly motivating.

Portugal has excellent conditions to practice this amazing sport. As the waters don’t result from melting ice, they are crystal clear and present bearable and very desirable temperatures. On the other hand, a lot of our canyons are located in natural protected areas with limited access which maintains the beauty of the different locations.

We are a small country but luckily we are “big” with our Canyons. With the easy Frades River with its crystal clear waters - considered one of the most beautiful Portugal rivers - whose output is made thru an ancient tungsten mine, or the amazing Poio River – one of the most technical and challenging river in Portugal - which by its difficulty allows you to do it in two days (with camping), Portugal offers to all lovers of this beautiful sport different rivers that meet their needs and physical possibilities.

If you want to know Portugal, enjoy sports in natural surroundings and enhance your levels of knowledge, fellowship and friendship, then come and meet Nicho Verde.
