If you want to get the most out of and learn about the Arouca Geopark territory, at your own pace, then Guided Tours are the way to go!
At over 1000 metres above sea level and with a vast landscape over the North and Centre of the country, the plateau of the emblematic Serra da Freita stretches out.
Take a walking tour, interpreting the main points of geological interest (geosites) in the territory.
Examples include lithological contacts, fold fields, boroa stones, the internationally renowned “breeding stones,” and the largest waterfall in mainland Portugal, Frecha da Mizarela.
Immerse yourself in the countryside as you pass through mountain villages like Cabaços and Castanheira: traditional villages that shape this mountain and where you'll certainly feel welcome.
Catch a glimpse of native animal and plant species in different ecosystems, like peatlands and lakes, in a place where fauna and flora coexist harmoniously.
And if you need more reasons, check out one of the most interesting historical-archaeological points (archaeosites) in the area, the Neolithic Portela da Anta.
