Experience an Exciting Canyoning Adventure in Nun’s Valley
Canyoning in Nun’s Valley, deep within the crater of an ancient volcano lies one of Madeira’s most spectacular vertical playgrounds. Starting high in the famous Curral das Freiras (Nun’s Valley), the Ribeira do Cidrão canyoning route offers an immersive, intermediate adventure surrounded by the island’s towering central peaks.
Trade the crowded tourist viewpoints for an intimate, small-group expedition into the riverbed itself. As you descend through this rugged volcanic gorge, you will navigate crystal-clear mountain pools, slide down smooth basalt chutes, and conquer an exhilarating 16-meter rappel.
Because this is a Level 2 route, the adrenaline is in your hands: take the plunge with thrilling optional jumps, or let our certified ICA and IFCN mountain guides rig a safe, alternative rope descent tailored to your comfort level. Equipped with premium technical gear and guided by local experts, you’ll experience the wild, untamed heart of Madeira’s mountains far from the mass-tourism trails.
