Matias did an amazing job leading us on our first canyoning adventure. He ensured that everybody has fun (and there was a wide range of ages and adventure levels!) and pushed us to our limits - safely! He is a great physiologist and helped the group bond as well. A really good time and a great guide that I would recommend to anybody!

It was an excellent morning, with a group of only 8 and 2 guides. We had a lot of fun and a great experience in the water, walking, jumping into pools, descending by rope above or even inside water falls. Great fun, great experience, with guides who both guided us and kept us safe all the time. Very much recommended. Only do note that when it says for example "3 hours" this also includes getting the gear, and being instructed and a short drive to the river. So 3 hours where some 2 hours of real canyoning, but these 2 hours where extremely pleasant ! Much thanks to our two guides Filipe and Duarte - you should ask for those two (not that I know that the others are less good...)
