Salto do Cabrito Canyoning with 30-Minute Forest Approach Walk, Sao Miguel

The day starts with a meeting, a safety briefing and the handing out of all the necessary equipment. Then comes a 30-minute walk along green trails, past geothermal areas and the remains of old hydroelectric buildings, before the canyoning itself begins. The descent at Salto do Cabrito goes down waterfalls, through emerald pools and along volcanic canyons, with local guides leading. Groups are kept small, a choice the operator links to safety and to a lighter footprint on the canyon. The trip suits people who want to see the volcanic side of São Miguel from the water, rather than only from a viewpoint.
