The adventure kicks off with and early morning departure from Porto, heading straight into the untamed beaty of Peneda- Gerês National Park.
We waste no time-your first adventure starts with a 1.5 hour kayak exploration across the park's largest lake. Glide over smooth water, carve your way between forested shores, and take in panoramic vieews from a whole new perspective. It's peaceful, powerful and the perfect way to sync with nature.
After drying off, we head to a local restaurant for lunch, where bold flavors and heart regional dishes will refuel you for our next adventure.
In the afternoon we take a small hike to a hidden waterfall- tucked away in the forest and perfect for a quick dip or just a moment of awe.
We then check in at our accomodation, with some free time to relax or roam, followed by a well-eraned dinner at a regional restaurant, where you can kick back, raise a glass, and toast to the start of this epic three day journey.
