About the activity

Ideally located close to Porto, the Arouca Geopark is an area of outstanding geological and natural heritage. Unusual rock formations, vast mountain scenery, rivers and picturesque villages await you. If you enjoy water-based activities and are visiting the region, why not try canyoning on the Fontão River? With a professional guide ensuring your safety throughout the experience, all you need to do is follow their instructions and enjoy an unforgettable adventure.

Your canyoning discovery in the Arouca Geopark takes place on the Fontão River, a tributary of the Paiva River chosen specifically for its beginner-friendly features. During the excursion, you make your way downstream while tackling natural obstacles such as waterfalls, pools and rocky sections. With the guide’s assistance, you can also choose to abseil down rock faces of up to 15 metres.

After your canyoning session, you will enjoy a short walk along the famous Passadiços do Paiva, the impressive wooden walkways built along the mountainside that showcase the stunning landscapes of the Arouca region.
