Beginner Canyoning in Madeira with Funchal Pickup at the CR7 Museum, Level 1

No canyoning experience is needed for this beginner-level outing on Madeira. Pickup is in central Funchal, at the CR7 Museum. The day begins on foot: a hike through green forest leads to the point where the canyon starts. From there the group works its way down narrow gorges, jumps into clear pools and rappels beside waterfalls that tumble down the rock. Professional guides supply all the necessary equipment and watch over safety from start to finish. Groups are kept small, which allows more individual attention, and the operator describes a commitment to sustainable tourism.
