Canyoning was really fun, we were in a group of 10 with two guides. They were both super nice, fun and made the activity really entertaining. The views of the national park were amazing and we did a mix of jumps, slides and walks.

We had an absolute blast on this canyoning tour through Peneda Geres National Park! It's an experience we'll never forget - climbing through the rocks and jumping off into the most beautiful pools. It was just the right amount of physical activity that definitely wore you out but wasn't too difficult. The views were stunning and it really made you appreciate how beautiful our planet is (lol)!

Aurelio was a fantastic guide. He led us on nice tracks trough the waterfall, he was very professional and good company! It was an amazing trip with jumps, zips, abseiling, hike and a nice swim. It was exciting for me, but I felt save with all the good gear and aurelio. Keep up!

It was our first canyoning trip and we had a lot of fun. There were jumps and slides and abseiling, but if you did not want to make a jump there was always an alternative.
