Tips if you are going to do Canyoning in Portugal

You've probably wondered how people manage to climb rock walls and cliffs of various shapes and sizes without tumbling off. Try it for yourself by going canyoning in Portugal. Canyoning allows you to enter the most secluded and inaccessible locations in the area, giving you an opportunity to learn about some of Portugal's most unique natural spaces. Do you dare to try it?
1. Where are the best canyons in Portugal?

There are many canyons in Portugal, but those in the Braga municipality are perfect for a fun canyoning day, regardless of your skill levels. The Serra da Preneda-Gerés hides canyons like the Arado, which offer rappels and canyons of varying difficulty, appropriate for beginners and expert canyoners. You can also explore the Lordelo River canyons in Aveiro, where you can complete the excursion with a cool dip in the river's waters. The Mau River near Oporto also boasts more than 3-kilometre-long gorges where you can begin your adventure in this realm, with paths of varying difficulty. But that's not all, because Madeira also has canyons like Capulla, where you can go up to 13m high abseils. This is perfect for the ones with more experience in canyoning. Owing to Portugal's geographical location, you will find cliffs of various heights and barriers to climb and leap over along the coast. Those in the Algarve, specifically Albufeira de Olhos de Água, are the most renowned. You can swim in crystal-clear waterways and explore caves in addition to canyoning. You may also do this along the Sesimbra shore, where you will find cliffs that allows you to plunge up to 10 metres and engage in thrilling abseiling. If that wasn't enough, the coast of Madeira also offers the opportunity to practise coasteering on cliffs as high as ten metres and swim in the crystal-clear seas that characterise this coastal area.
2. What styles of canyoning can you do?

There are various types of canyoning excursions you can undertake throughout Portugal, just as the variety of places that Portugal offers. Water canyoning is the most popular sort of canyoning in Portugal because, in addition to climbing and ascending canyons of various levels of difficulty and characteristics, you will end up taking a dip in the slides or pools that await you after the route. You can also go dry canyoning, which involves abseiling down granite walls and ravines in a dry natural setting. Finally, because the Atlantic Ocean runs across the western section of Portugal, there are opportunities for coasteering. This is a sort of canyoning that takes place along the Portuguese shore, rather than in ravines.
3. How long can you enjoy this activity?

Canyoning activities have no set duration because it relies on your skill level and the amount of time you take to complete them. There are several sessions, albeit most of them run longer than an hour because you only need to go to the canyon and climb it once. Water canyoning activities usually last the longest, followed by coasteering, as it's time to unwind with a dip after the effort. Furthermore, canyoning and coasteering are frequently combined with other water sports, making them take longer to complete. To sum it up, with canyoning, you are the one who decides when, how and where. You just have to adapt each experience to your preferences and enjoy it for as long as you do it! Usually, the experiences that have a higher difficulty level also last longer, as they combine different obstacles such as abseiling, jumps and even cave expeditions.
4. What is required for a day of canyoning?

To do canyoning safely, what you most need is good, comfortable and appropriate sports equipment, which allows you to make the jumps without difficulty, where the use of mountain boots is recommended. To maintain the safety of all those who participate in this activity, the company is in charge of providing the necessary materials for its implementation, such as the helmet, the neoprene suit for water canyoning and coasteering, harnesses, descenders, ropes and approved anchor lines and gloves.
5. Is there any kind of qualification required for canyoning?

As you will undertake this activity in canyons and cliffs along the shore, you will need to know how to swim and have a desire to have fun. The partner company and instructors will take care of the rest! More challenging canyons, on the other hand, require a higher level of demonstrable experience, at the very least have had your first contact with the sport. The same is true for the more advanced level, where the minimum age for participation increases in tandem with the risk of abseils and high cliffs.
When in Portugal is the best time to go canyoning?

If you don't have any plans for the summer, you already know by now that water canyoning and coasteering are delightful and thrilling options to spend your vacation, as it allows you to spend a refreshing day on the slides, and beaches, or pools you'll encounter along the adventure.
