It is made up of several islands, the largest of which is Madeira Island, a small tropical paradise famous for its spectacular scenery, steep mountains, towering cliffs and lush green valleys. Funchal is Madeira's capital and one of the archipelago's most charming towns. Of course, it's also an ideal starting point for exploring the island.

In total, you'll spend around 3 hours in the canyon, linking abseils, natural slides and exploring the natural environment on foot or by swimming. Throughout your canyoning trip in Madeira, the guides will be on hand to advise you and make sure you leave with great memories of the experience!
