Canyoning in Ribeira do Lajeado

This canyon start on Paúl da Serra, which literally means swamp of the mountains. Paúl da Serra is starting point for many beautiful canyons that run down the island from this plateau. One of them being Ribeira do Lajeado. The access to the canyon is along the path of the levada do Alecrim. After more or less half an hour walking we reach the beginning of the canyon. Inside the canyon we find various rappels along waterfalls with possibilities to jump (highest jump 12 meter, please note that all jumps are optional) After the last splash into the water we walk up a steep trail that brings us back to the levada and back to the car. +/- 40 Minutes walk.
