What if we told you that all of those waterfalls on Madeira Island that people hike just to look at, you can actually rappel down and be part of them?
Be prepared to experience your new favourite sport that some of you didn't know existed (or thought it was something related with canoes). And yes, you will have free photos to prove to your friends about this extreme experience.

Of course we will tell you that this is the best activity you can do on Madeira Island.
But don’t just take our word for it; let's look at the facts:
Madeira has the luxurious Laurissilva forest that, has been part of UNESCO World Heritage since 1999, and you can only truly experience this untouched nature in our canyons.

We have very steep orography, allowing the water to flow all year around and making our canyons very compact with a good ratio of walking, waterfalls, jumps and slides.
