Hiking and rappel canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From Funchal on the ER-103 via Monte in the direction of Col de Poiso. A few kilometers after the end of Monte, in the hamlet of Terreiro da Luta, turn right onto the ER-201 and continue northeast for about 1400 m until you reach the Cales. Take the second car back to Terreiro da Luta, turn right again onto the ER-103 and drive uphill for about 2 km. After a long straight with a half avenue, you will see the administration building of the Parque Ecologico on the left. Park the other car here.

Approach (5 min): machine translated ➜

Either enter a few meters downstream north of the old bridge (View with Google Earth: 32.699343/-16.903446) or north of the road bridge (32.700972/-16.903361) of ER-103.

Tour (2 h 30): machine translated ➜

Probably the only canyon descending south from the main ridge; 8 rappels in basalt, longer run in scree streambed. Rappels partly bypassable or rappeling from trees possible.

Return (10 min): machine translated ➜

After the wide ramp-like drop towards the exit of the canyon, you can see a cemented platform at the bottom (former water catchment). Here on the right bank downstream to the road, as the last waterfalls are not secured (2010).

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Cales We did part 3. The first 4-5 abseils are nice (guided part) after that there is endless walking on slippery stones, through thorns and over/under fallen trees. In between there are OK- abseils, some without ankors. It was one of the worst canyons I have done. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/22363/observations.html)

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Cales Le canyon Cales dispose de 4 sections au total. Cales 1 est très simple et touristique. Cales 2 a beaucoup d'arbres tombé a cause d´un incendie forestiere il y a 14 ans et offre des cascades jusqu'à 20 mètres. Cales 3 fait directement suite à Cales 2 et offre un plaisir de canyoning concentré, à l'exception de quelques passages de marche un peu plus longs. Cales 4 fait directement suite à Cales 3. Ici aussi, il y a des passages de marche plus longs, mais les descentes en rappel sont très belles, surtout les deux dernières qui sont actuellement très spectaculaires.
