Trip Itinerary
1
Vila Real
Day 1-2
Arrival day and city day! Porto - Vila Real: 🕐1h15 drive by car ✈️ For those who come by plane, I'll catch you at OPO airport. If there are other transport options, I'll reach out to you personally and we will solve it! Depending on the arrival hours we can have lunch/dinner in this city and enjoy our beloved wooden stove Francesinha 🥘 (cultural dish) at my favorite restaurant: La Forneria. They have veggie options 🍃. 🛒 We can take the chance of being in the city and buy any groceries we might want to have for the next few days, but there are other options closer to our accommodation if we don't. Activities: A guided tour to Casa de Mateus (Mateus's house) a National Monument built in the 18th century where we'll travel back in time, get enchanted by its garden, and taste some local Douro wines (this can be altered if not everyone agrees with it or choose to get home to rest from the trip). Vila Real - Alvão Village & Camping: 🕐30 min drive by car We'll finally see our lovely Castreja home in Alvão Natural Park, the place where we will sleep for the next 3 nights.

Ribeira de Pena
Day 2-3
Active and nature day! In the morning 🌄 1. Lovely breakfast at the village 2. Explore the surroundings of our accommodation where you'll find Falperra's dam along with its natural richness and biodiversity. There's a scenic walk you can take around the dam, I'll bring my binoculars in case there's a birdwatcher or a curious person in the group! Alternatively, there's the option to stay in the village. 3. For lunch we can arrange to eat at home or go to a restaurant nearby. In the afternoon ☀️ 1. Relax and digest for about 30 min 2. Go to Pena Aventura Park in Ribeira de Pena and start our aquatic hike! ⏱️ Duration: 3h 🤼♂️ Difficulty: easy 🧘♀️ 👟 Things to bring: Swimsuit, towel, footwear to get wet. ℹ️ For this activity we can go at 10:30 in the morning or 15:30 in the afternoon. We can choose according to the tripmates lifestyle preferences. The advantages ⬆️ of doing the activity in the morning 🌄 are that we can spend more time at the river, explore its waterfalls, natural pools, and mountain views. The advantages ⬆️ of doing the activity in the afternoon ☀️ are that we experience different things during the day. In the night ✨ Dinner/ Home in the village/ home party/ stargazing or just relaxing. PS: I had to use my own photos because there's so little on the internet. It's a good thing because it will surprise you too!
