À propos de ce canyon
Canyon do Elias is a long, low-water canyon in Porto Moniz on the Ribeira da Quebrada, 1200 m long, with 19 rappels and a maximum waterfall of 70 m, graded v3a1III, requiring a minimum of 2 x 30 m of rope. The approach is short at 20 minutes, the descent takes around 4 h and the return about 1 h. The canyon is only partially equipped: many of the rappels rely on natural anchors and some on single bolts, so carry rigging material and be prepared to build or back up anchors. The name "Canyon do Elias" comes from "Casa do Elias", an old house near the regional road, and was chosen to avoid confusion with another stream also called Ribeira da Quebrada.
Notes officielles
The true name of this watercourse is Ribeira da Quebrada, but the openers named it "Canyon do Elias" (after "Casa do Elias", an old house near the regional road) to avoid confusion with another stream of the same name. The canyon is not fully equipped: many natural anchors and some single-point anchors were used.
Amarrages, débit et accès changent à chaque tempête et chaque hiver. L'état actuel est un instantané : vérifie les dernières conditions avant toute descente.
