Activity description

Let yourself go into the deepest and wildest side of nature of the Peneda Gerês National Park with a superb canyoning activity in the Varziela River!

It is on the Varziela River, located in Castro Laboreiro, in the heart of Peneda Gerês National Park, that we offer you the opportunity to experience Star Canyoning . A route in a more accessible format, as this is perfect for those who want to get started in the practice, but also who want to live unique and fun moments.

It is a fun path where you can perform activities such as abseiling, natural slides and jumping into the water. It is also an easy route and recommended for families with children from the age of 6, because all obstacles are manageable. In addition to all this, you will also be accompanied by our monitors who will provide you with all the security you need.

This activity consists of a walk along a stretch of river, overcoming the natural obstacles that arise. Swimming in natural pools, jumping into lagoons surrounded by giant cliffs and, eventually, using ropes and other safety aids, to perform rappels and other techniques that allow us to reach the end of our route.
