Canyoning in Sao Jorge Azores | Aventour Azores Adventures

Canyoning is one of the fastest growing Nature activities in recent years. It consists of descending rivers or streams in mountain valleys, overcoming all obstacles using the most varied techniques, using the indispensable personal protection equipment.

On the same route, it is possible to walk along the riverbed, swim, dive and jump (optional) to natural pools of crystal-clear water and unparalleled beauty, rappeling, zipline and other rope techniques necessary to overcome the successive unevenness that the gorges present to us. It is undoubtedly one of the most complete nature exploration activities through which we can discover and enjoy landscapes that would otherwise be impossible to enjoy, combining the components of adventure, sport and leisure.

The refreshing sensations of diving and swimming in natural pools of crystal clear water, the natural beauty of the most hidden landscapes like waterfalls and canyons, adventure and emotion, all in one activity!

The Canyoning since in 1970 in Europe, more precisely in France and Spain, by cavers looking for caves in the Pyrenees canyons, between rivers and gorges, without imagining that they were creating another adventure sport.

In the 1980s this nature sport arrived in mainland of Portugal, by Fancísco Silva who, with a group of friends, opened the first Canyon routes in the Portuguese continent.

This sport arrived in the Azores in 1992, by Luís Paulo Bettencourt, who started the practice of Canyoning on the island of São Jorge. In 2000 he founded Aventour Azores Adventures, which like him are the pioneers of Canyoning in the Azores.
