## Overview

What makes your canyoning tour unique is the chance to connect deeply with São Miguel’s wild beauty at Salto do Cabrito, where you’ll descend beautiful waterfalls, swim in emerald pools, and explore volcanic canyons alongside local guides. Designed for nature enthusiasts and mindful travelers, this isn’t just an adventure—it’s an intimate encounter with the Azores’ soul. We prioritize safety and sustainability, using small groups to minimize impact while maximizing your connection to the landscape.

What to Expect:
We will provide all necessary equipement after our meeting and a safety briefing.
After that we will start our canyoning experience which includes a 30 minute hike through verdant trails, passing by geothermal areas and remnants of old hydroelectric facilities.
