The end of 2024 is just around the corner and plans for New Year's Eve are beginning to emerge. Are you thinking of celebrating this date in contact with nature and creating unforgettable memories? We have the perfect option for enjoying the best of Arouca with your family and friends.
Feel Discovery has two houses for rent in this region and also has the support of some specialized partners who can help you plan activities where nature and the outdoors are the protagonists.
In this article we'll explore some of the best activities in the region that will make your New Year's Eve unique.
1. A walk through the Paiva Walkways
Considered the “World's Best Adventure Tourist Attraction” for the fifth time in a row at the World Travel Awards, the Paiva Walkways are a must for anyone wishing to visit Arouca.
Along the 8 km that make up this trail, located on the banks of the River Paiva, you can discover a completely untouched “natural sanctuary”. A unique opportunity to connect with nature at its purest.
2. Crossing the Suspension Bridge 516 Arouca
A different look at the Paiva River region. This is the experience offered by the 516 Arouca Suspension Bridge, part of the Arouca Geopark. As well as a privileged view of the Paiva Walkways, it is through this bridge that you can find two of the region's 41 geosites: the Aguieiras Waterfall and the Paiva Gorge, geographically well-defined sites that concentrate geological formations of great scientific, aesthetic, ecological and tourist value.
It's worth noting that you can only cross the bridge by appointment with a local guide.
3. Discovering the Arouca Geopark
Created in 2009 and with an estimated area of 328 km2, the Arouca Geopark has 41 geosites ready to be discovered. From the Pedras Parideiras (Boulders) to the giant Trilobites, including the Ichnofossils of Cabanas Longas, there are several options for walking routes to discover these geological treasures.
Through NaTourAway, one of our partners specializing in the Arouca region, you can book various activity packages that include various points of interest in the Arouca Geopark.
4. Buggy Tours in Serra da Freita
In addition to the various hiking trails that can be taken in this region, another fun and adventurous way to do so is by buggy in the Serra da Freita. A unique experience that will allow you to get to know the “Magic Mountains” and their hidden trails.
Quinta do Couço - Nature Village, which is also our partner in the region, has several options for buggy rides, such as crossing the Moldes Valley and climbing Sr. Da Mó, which can be combined with a visit to the Paiva walkways and a visit to the 516 Arouca bridge.
If you're staying at our Casa da Pedra, the starting point for this activity is precisely where this property is located, in the Moldes Valley.
During your stay, immerse yourself in the best-kept secrets of what is known as the Magic Mountains region, exploring incredible activities that will make your New Year's Eve even better.
