Exploring rivers
Except fishing and swimming you can also canoe on the Mondego or go SUP in the river. We can contact the organisations for you.
Catch a fish
If you rather not go for a swim, SUP or canoe, you can explore the rivers in another way and try to catch your lunch or diner. There are beautiful trouts and barbels in the river Alvôco.
Go Paragliding
In the Serra da Estrela and the Serra do Açor you can go paragliding, in the Serra do Caramulo there is a possibility to slide from the mountain.
Horse riding
There is also a possibility to go horse-riding in the region. We can arrange the contact with one of the organisations.
Visit Coimbra
Beside the fysical activities, you can also enjoy a trip to Coimbra. This is a beautiful old city, with the oldest university of Portugal. Enjoy a walk through the small alleys and take a glas of region wine at the river Mondego. After that you can also go to the new shoppingcentre, Forum, at the other side of the river. Here you see a different part of Portugal and the view is one in a million!More →

For those who like activities but not in their holidays, there are some beautiful nature swimming places in Alvôco das Várzeas, Avô, São Sebastião da Feira and also in the Serra da Estrela.
