Enjoy the cave paintings: 

There is an enormous variety of rock paintings present in the Côa Valley Archaeological Park, which is considered one of the most important preservers of open-air rock art in the world. 

In this park, it is possible to see thousands of rock engravings from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age, depicting animals such as horses and goats. 

The valley was discovered in 1994 while work was underway on the construction of a dam on the river. Following this discovery, it was decided to create the Archaeological Park to protect and preserve the marvelous historical heritage uncovered. 

The park offers guided tours to archaeological sites, such as Ribeira de Piscos and Canada do Inferno, allowing visitors to explore and appreciate the rock art found in this region.
