Activity description

If you are looking for a different experience that allows you to explore the authentic side of Portugal, this hiking tour in Serra de Freita is perfect for you!

Serra de Freita is part of the Geological park within an hour drive of Porto city. It belongs to the Unesco Global Geoparks Network.

The park is therefore known for its unique geological phenomena such as the Pedras Parideiras, or birth giving stones, its spectacular rock formations and the 246 feet high waterfall.

The Serra de Freita covers the highlands of the park. It’s a beautiful place where nature still prevails. Tugar will take you on a hike through the park in order to make this experience as exciting as possible for you.

You will do a tour walk from the base of the waterfall, and the move to the higher ground and visit some old villages where time seems to have stopped a century ago. It is a beautiful area where you can see a lot of interesting things. The cattle roam freely, turning for home by themselves at the end of the day. You can also encounter shepherds directing their sheep and goats to the best pastures.
