In this adventure we will discover some of the most iconic shale villages and waterfalls in central Portugal!
We started our trip with a wonderful view of the Mont'Alto Sanctuary.
Then, we leave in the direction of Coja where we can relax on its river beach before the mountain paths take us to the village of Benfeita and the waterfall of Fraga da Pena with its imposing 20 meters high.
To end in beauty, nothing like visiting the best-known schist village in the country - Piódão….
For the more adventurous we still have 2 more places to discover, Foz d’Égua the enchanted village and Poço da Broca where the waters demonstrate the power of nature…

Sergio was an amazing guide!! He picked us up at our Air B&B and we had a full day of touring the Coimbra area. He also included a lot of information about Portugal and the local areas. We saw so much more than just the villages. I really appreciated how safe I felt with him. Some of the roads were narrow and curvy, and he was a wonderful driver. I would recommend his company for any tours.
