- Vale do Douro - Navigate a special river, in the heart of the first demarcated wine region in the world, and UNESCO heritage.
We start in Pinhão, pass under the Eiffel iron bridge, sail up the river to the Roncão area, returning to Pinhão.
You will see vineyards on terraces down to the river, in a landscape without national roads or road traffic.
Although the stretch of river on the way back is the same, it could very well be different, since when seen in another direction it creates totally different views and landscapes.
The traditional Rabelo boats have open and closed areas, allowing comfortable navigation at any time of the year and weather conditions.
