Summary: machine translated ➜

Water-bearing rappel canyon that gradually narrows towards the bottom.

Access: machine translated ➜

From the south end of the village of Ribeira Grande, you first drive into the streambed of the Ribeira de Torre and then continue south in the valley for almost 7 km. At a green large container on the right side of the road (before the road rises steeply) is our start and end point.

Approach (1 h 15): machine translated ➜

We walk uphill on the road (on the left above a grocery store) and after 2 switchbacks we come to a brick water tank. In front of it on the right, up the stairs to some houses on the ridge (Lombo do Pico). From these, the path first descends a bit on the other side, and then climbs steadily again. At 695 meters above sea level we reach the houses of Losna and here we keep to the right (north direction). The path now goes downhill again and we come into the streambed of the Vinha, which is also called Ribeira de Losna here.

Tour (3 h 30): machine translated ➜

Particularly in the lower part, you are forced to trudge through the agriculture with its filigree irrigation systems.\nTotal of 16 rappels, the highest (85m) with a changeover (50/35).

Return (10 min): machine translated ➜

After the last rappel onto the landing here, continue down the path until you reach the road.
