Overview

We pick you up from your accommodation, and your adventure begins! Our first stop is at the reservoir of Caniçada for an unforgettable kayak trip.

After this refreshing time, we will go through some of the hiking trails by the mountain and viewpoints with stunning landscapes.

Barragem Canicada

Kayaks are a great way to get to know some hiden corners of the reservoir of Caniçada at the National Park Gerês. Very easy to use, they allow you views from the water, to dive, but also to stop and explore the shores. With family or friends, a kayak tour is always a good option. The idea is provide you a complete different perspective of the Gerês.It's mandatory to know how to swim.

Fojo do Lobo de Fafião

Os fojos são antigas armadilhas para os lobos. Este animal, hoje protegido, foi durante séculos objeto de perseguição motivada pelo medo que incutia nas gentes serranas através da sua associação ao mundo do além e também pelos ataques que fazia aos animais que pastavam nas serras. Estas construções, hoje património cultural, surgem apenas no Norte da Península Ibérica.O Fojo dos Lobos de Fafião é considerado um dos mais bem preservados da Península Ibérica e representa para a comunidade local um símbolo da sua história e cultura e das lutas vividas entre os homens e os lobos.Small walk.
