Canyoning Rio Teixeira

소요 시간: Between 4 and 5 Hours

An activity that involves walking down the rio Teixeira (Oliveira de Frades), using jumps into the water, natural slides, down-climbing, abseils and crossings through the water.

This canyoning route is one of the most popular in the country. The surroundings are characterised by rocky cliffs and the river has spectacular pools. At times, in the riverbed, it seems the river disappears, as it runs beneath the rocks, but a pool or a waterfall soon appears.

The rio Teixeira begins with a walk beside a water channel up to the start of the canyoning, where there are 2 consecutive drops with abseils of 25 and 35 metres respectively.
Further on there is a large, deep pool with a 4-metre drop, which can be negotiated by a natural slide or jumps from various heights. The river then enters a narrower area with schist ledges, where the last drop appears, which can be negotiated with a jump or a 15 m abseil into a long, bottomless pool.

For the canyoning, the following equipment is provided by the organiser: wetsuit, neoprene socks, personal protective equipment (helmet, harness, descender), specialist backpacks, and dry bags and containers. At the end, a walk of around 5 minutes is required to reach the cars.

Recommended seasons: spring and summer (May to September).

알아두면 좋은 정보

You should bring water and a light lunch: sandwiches, fruit, energy bars, nuts, etc.

You need to bring footwear for walking in the water: trainers or shoes or boots with a thick, grippy sole (do not bring sandals or wetsuit shoes). Footwear is the responsibility of the participants.
You may bring a Lycra top to wear under the wetsuit.
The organiser has dry bags to carry the participants’ lunch, but the quantity should be moderate.

We suggest that participants eat something before the walk so they don’t have to carry as much weight during the activity. It is important to bring sun cream. Anyone who wears prescription glasses should attach a cord so they stay more secure.
