About Passeio aos Cânions de Xingó
The trip to the Cânions de Xingó can be organized with boarding in Canindé de São Francisco, on the Sergipe shore of the reservoir. The navigation crosses a regional landscape of the São Francisco, with stretches between rock walls and accesses to arms of the lake. Departing from Sergipe does not mean that all the cliffs are located there: the route includes landscapes on the Alagoas shore.
The format of the activity varies according to the vessel and the contracted route. There are catamaran tours and other navigation options; before booking, confirm the pier, the itinerary, the stops and the return transport. Any bathing activities or navigation in smaller boats must follow the conditions and instructions of those responsible.
This page covers the trip that departs from Canindé, not a physical canyon attributed to the municipality. The Rota do Cangaço, with boat and trail to the Angico, is a separate activity. Allow time to arrive at the pier and leave a margin between the navigation and continuing the road trip.
Before you go
Practical information
Cidade Turismo reviews its information regularly, but something may have changed. Check with the place before planning your trip.
How much time to set aside
Allow a period for the navigation and add travel time to the pier and time to arrange the return.
Best time
Arrange boarding with the operator and check the reservoir conditions. From December to February, summer demand usually increases; wind and the operation of the activity require confirmation close to departure.
How to get there
The booked departure uses a pier in Canindé de São Francisco, outside the walking tour of the center. Confirm the exact point and whether transport to the boarding point is included in the booking.
Tip
Check the difference between transport to the pier and the boat trip. Choose the activity based on the itinerary provided; do not assume that every boarding includes the same stops.
