Canyoning Ribeira Da Pena

- What Will You Do

This small river flows across a narrow valley. Its riverbed, riversides and cliffs are formed with imposing rocks which make this a place almost inaccessible.
For this reason, the valley of Ribeira da Pena still serves as a refuge for plants and animals which are unique and rare.
This is the most spectacular river in the Centre region of Portugal, where is possible to find the perfect combination of inhospitable and wilderness (formed by numerous waterfalls, lagoons and stately cliffs) with the lush vegetation and distinctive wildlife. All the effort expended in performing this activity is well worth it.
