River Trekking is a water walking that takes us on an exploration of the natural beauty of the rivers in the Peneda-Gerês National Park. In this adventure we don't use any rope techniques, we just dive, jump and walk between ponds, rocks and paths, along the river Adrão. It's amazing experience in a middle of the nature. The Adrão River is a tributary of the Lima River (one of the biggest one in Portugal), marked by its wild essence and by its extremely green banks in all seasons of the year. These banks, which in ancient times were the terraces* that provided much of the sustenance of the people of Soajeiro*. Socalcos* - A portion of more or less flat land on a slope supported by a wall.
