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.

At an altitude of 829 meters, the Pedra Bela viewpoint is perhaps the best known in the municipality due to the great scenic beauty that can be seen from it. The landscape is an authentic natural amphitheatre, with the Rio Caldo bridges and the entire Caniçada reservoir as a backdrop.

Here, in addition to the cooling shade of cedars and birches, you can also find a small fountain and several tables for a snack break, while you contemplate the landscape as Miguel Torga did in his poem “Pátria”.

The Arado Waterfall is a waterfall located on the Arado River, in the heart of Gerês. Situated at an altitude of around 900 meters, it creates a succession of unique cascades among the rocks.

All the way to the waterfall is worth observing, where you will be amazed by what the nature of Gerês has to offer, and this waterfall is a must-see.

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.

At an altitude of 800 meters, two large granite blocks hold up a suspension bridge with a priceless view over the verdant valleys of the Cabril River and the Cávado River. The imposing MIRADOURO DO FAFIÃO, created at the top of the village that gives it its name, is one of the new panoramic attractions in the Peneda-Gerês National Park. If you’re lucky, you’ll be greeted on arrival by the groups of butterflies that usually hover here or by a group of goats grazing there.

Small hike.

The Pincães Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Peneda-Gerês National Park and the natural pool that forms at its base is a real delight.
On hot days it’s almost irresistible to take a dip in its crystal-clear emerald waters.
