You will also get to know the social traditions of the villages and hills.
The trail is not very steep and is particularly suitable for walkers. We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing.

Next to the dam is a river beach, with sand on one of the banks, allowing you to spread your towel or sunbathe and where you can enjoy sun loungers and straw hats.
The fluvial beach also offers a great place to rest and contact with nature. At the same time, it encourages the practice of canoeing and boat trips, providing all the necessary equipment.
There are 4 waistcoats available in a tent next to the river beach. The use of sun cream, hat, comfortable clothes and waterproof shoes is recommended. There is a walkway from Casa do Monte to the river beach.
