5.00With my spouse we had a great time. We made various jumps at different heights, no obligation for those who did not feel able, always a plan B. Several families accompanied us and our 2 guides were very attentive and vigilant to children or adults not reassured. Looking forward to receiving the photos taken by one of the monitors during the experience. It was a great time, eager to test the level above with them. Thanks to Silvano and Eliseu. 👌🏼

5.00It was a great experience with our guides Horácio and Mariana. They were very kind and funny. We enjoyed a lot and now understand the basics of canyoning. Our daughters had fun and also did the ‘big’ jump. Furthermore it was great that they made a lot of fantastic pictures. I really recommend this!
