green fields, shrubs, colossal plants and forests, contrasts with the electric blue of the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideal for trekking and canyoning enthusiasts, <strong>the island of Flores, has the most canyons of all the Azores. Specifically, 43 canyons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best time for canyoning in the Azores is from May\/June to September.<\/strong> In Flores, the weather is quite changeable due to being the westernmost island of the Azores and its rugged terrain, being the most prone to rain, strong winds and weather changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the summer months, temperatures range around 23\u00baC, while in winter, they can drop to 13\u00baC. It is, of course, very humid and foggy all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the rainfall and orography of the area, the <strong>ravines of Flores<\/strong> They have very vertical waterfalls, are steep, watery and with a lot of vegetation inside, and in many cases, they end up in the Atlantic Ocean, so it will be necessary for a boat to come and pick us up by sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A real adventure, going down these beautiful waterfalls that culminate in the sea and being able to see them from a boat as you leave them behind, admiring the beauty of the place as if it were a postcard.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-column.kb-section-dir-horizontal > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{max-width:unset;}.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{border-top:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-right:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-bottom:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-left:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:20px;background:#ffffff;padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-top:50px;}.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kadence-info-box-icon-container .kt-info-svg-icon, .kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-info-svg-icon-flip, .kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-number{font-size:27px;}.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-media{background:#ffffff;border-color:var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-radius:200px;overflow:hidden;border-top-width:5px;border-right-width:5px;border-bottom-width:5px;border-left-width:5px;padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;}.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-media-container{margin-top:-75px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:0px;}.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-media .kadence-info-box-image-intrisic img{border-radius:200px;}.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-infobox-textcontent h3.kt-blocks-info-box-title{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;}.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-learnmore{background:transparent;border-width:0px 0px 0px 0px;padding-top:4px;padding-right:8px;padding-bottom:4px;padding-left:8px;margin-top:10px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{border-top:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-right:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-bottom:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-left:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24 .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{border-top:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-right:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-bottom:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);border-left:5px solid var(--global-palette7, #eeeeee);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-infobox kt-info-box45100_7c5d16-24\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap info-box-link kt-blocks-info-box-media-align-top kt-info-halign-left\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-media-container\"><div class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-media kt-info-media-animate-none\"><div class=\"kadence-info-box-icon-container kt-info-icon-animate-none\"><div class=\"kadence-info-box-icon-inner-container\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fas_info kt-info-svg-icon\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 192 512\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M20 424.229h20V279.771H20c-11.046 0-20-8.954-20-20V212c0-11.046 8.954-20 20-20h112c11.046 0 20 8.954 20 20v212.229h20c11.046 0 20 8.954 20 20V492c0 11.046-8.954 20-20 20H20c-11.046 0-20-8.954-20-20v-47.771c0-11.046 8.954-20 20-20zM96 0C56.235 0 24 32.235 24 72s32.235 72 72 72 72-32.235 72-72S135.764 0 96 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"kt-infobox-textcontent\"><h3 class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-title\">Did you know that...<\/h3><p class=\"kt-blocks-info-box-text\"><em>The Azores are also known as the European Hawaii.

At the end of the descent, we will make a beautiful return hike from the last rappel to the starting car, through lush vegetation that sometimes almost closes the path, where we can see the N\u00e3me and Cana Roca plants, typical in the Azores, some of which are colossal in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jos\u00e9 Fraga Integral<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/travesiapirenaica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/04_fraga-1.jpg 1299w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);}.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:5px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-left-radius:5px;}.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#f0f0f0;}.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column45100_f801a4-1c\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Difficulty: <em>high<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Length: 1.7 km&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slope: 600 m&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No. of abseils: 18<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maximum rappel: 60 m<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is undoubtedly one of the most impressive canyons in Flores! <strong>An explosion of colour and adventure<\/strong> Epic waterfalls await you in this fun descent, such as the upper and lower Jos\u00e9 Fraga waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A very complete canyon in which you will enjoy <strong>waterfalls of great beauty<\/strong>The water is very short, both in terms of their length and the way in which the water falls into them, and in terms of their canyoned sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we go down it after rainfall with an acceptable flow, it becomes a very aquatic adventure descent, with quite chained abseils, except for a fun section in which we will progress among large plants and lush vegetation that we will have to move aside to go down the riverbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A technical descent and undoubtedly one of the must-do's on the island, with marvellous views of the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also requires a combination of cars, or if you prefer, you can do the lower section with just one car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two r<strong>uestros imprescindibles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A trip to the island of Flores is not complete without an excursion to get to know some of its natural wonders.
