Same Canyon as Ribeira das Cales

Go Canyoning markets this as "Rochão" while other operators call it "Ribeira das Cales." Same canyon, same location (Funchal Ecological Park). Go Canyoning's specialty is the efficient 3-hour format — perfect for cruise visitors and time-limited travelers. Other operators run the same canyon as 3.5-4 hour tours.

When Rochão is Your Perfect Choice

⛴️ Cruise Ship Passengers

Docked in Funchal for the day? Rochão fits your tight schedule: 3-hour total commitment means you're back to ship with time to spare. Most operators offer flexible start times.

🤔 Trying Before Committing

Not sure if canyoning is for you? Rochão's 3-hour format is low commitment. If you love it (you will), book a full 4-5 hour canyon next. If not, you only invested 3 hours.

⏰ Time-Limited Travelers

Packed itinerary? Morning Rochão, afternoon levada walk = perfect Madeira day. Quick doesn't mean rushed — just efficiently paced.

💰 Budget-Conscious

€40-50 makes Rochão the most affordable canyoning option. You still get full equipment, guide, insurance, photos — just shorter duration means lower price.
