Description

Home to incredible biodiversity, the Rio de Frades canyon is a spectacular place to explore by canyoning.

The former mining region, located within the mountain range of Serra da Freita, offers beautiful views along the way.

The Rio de Frades offers a series of challenging abseils, as well as pristine pools for us to jump into and swim.

The exciting activities blends with the natural beauty, making it the perfect place for a canyoning excursion. It is actually one of the most popular canyoning areas in the whole country.

Canyoning is the ultimate outdoor sport as it mixes different techniques, such as rock climbing, abseiling, hiking, jumping and swimming.

During World War I, its creeks and canyons were the site of the Mining Company of Northern Portugal, which was owned by Germans. It was used to extract wolfram that was used for the production of weapons.

Today the region offers a wealth of diversity and is home to a number of protected species, including the Iberian wolf.

The level of difficulty for this trip is easy, and can be enjoyed by those aged 12 years old and above. And don’t worry if you’re not comfortable with the jumps, as all of them can be navigated around, so you can keep on your feet the whole time.

Also, because of the nature of the trip, all potential participants much be able to swim.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
