    Arouca Geopark

    After meeting the participants, we will take an initial small Jeep Tour to Aldeia da Paradinha, classified as a Village of Portugal, stopping at some of the most emblematic geosites in the Paiva valley, such as the "Garganta do Paiva" or the Cabanas ichnofossils. Long. We will also stop with the Jeep to observe a beehive, in other words, a protective wall made in ancient times to protect hives from attacks by brown bears. After the visit to the village and a safety briefing, we will begin the activity of descending the section of the Paiva River, between Aldeia da Paradinha (Aldeia de Portugal) and Praia Fluvial do Areínho, a length of around 3 kilometers. It provides a similar experience to Rafting, as it passes through the rapids of the Paiva River, without compromising safety. You can count on different dynamics in the water, such as free swimming, jumping into the water and going down small currents.
