Canyoning

Today was my last full day in Madeira. To make it special, MJ and I decided to try something a bit more exciting than a hike. Unfortunately, this meant that we would miss the enchanted forest hike in Madeira, which we were very keen for, but the weather just wasn't quite what we needed it to be for the full experience. Plus, I had done many hikes in Madeira and was keen for something new. The experience meant that we could go and explore some of the hidden or unknown sections of the island and try canyoning. Although I had done it many years ago, I was curious to see what it was like in Madeira. In hindsight, a bigger waterfall to do the canyoning would have made the experience great, but we still very much enjoyed repelling down waterfalls, cliff jumping, and occasionally sliding into the water below. Given that it was winter, the water was very cold, but it didn't stop us from enioying the experience. We repelled down about 4 waterfalls, did a couple of cliff jumps, and completed a rock slide. The river we were walking through and exploring was beautiful and felt incredibly untouched. We were the only ones who booked the tour, so we had the whole area to ourselves and had so much fun. Although it only lasted a few hours, we felt like we got some good value. Once it was done, we headed to a couple of viewpoints on our way home, mostly due tk being lost, but got a nice view of Porto da Cruz, where we had spent the last week. Seeing it from this perspective, you realised how small of a town it really was. We enjoyed the view for a while before heading back to the cabin and enjoyed our final night before I left Madeira.Okumaya devam et
