Hiking in the Vale do Vouga means being immersed in a scenario of rural villages, green valleys and a meandering river.

Half an hour’s drive away from the coast, 60 km south of Porto, the Vale do Vouga lets you get to know a very different Portugal. Green, hidden, with lots of small waterfalls and stunning views… On and around the river and reservoir of the Vale do Vouga there are a lot of outdoor activities to do, such as canyoning, water trekking, SUP, kayaking and hiking…

There are many hiking opportunities to enjoy the calming and inspiring effect of the nature that surrounds you. Longer and shorter, heavier and lighter walks are available.
