Boat Excursion to the Nazaré Canyon 40 min

A phenomenon of nature, as long as it is not dangerous, is something that, if you have the opportunity, you should not miss. Imagine that there is one unique in the world, of enormous attraction, which is located relatively close to your homes, in the central region of Portugal. There, in the district of Leiria, is located one of the most curious towns in the entire country.

Because? Mainly, because you can still see traditions rooted in their society, of great significance, such as cooking fish outdoors, in the street itself, or the ancient technique of dried fish, rigorously transmitted from generation to generation. But, on the other hand, Nazaré also offers another attraction hidden in the bowels of the earth.

We are referring to its famous canyon, which gives its name to the town, an underground formation that has an extension of 230 kilometers and reaches a strong> depth of no less than 500 meters, which is why it has been declared the largest underground gorge that exists in the Old Continent strong>.

On the other hand, there are two fundamental factors that cause such high waves: first, the closeness to the coast of the canyon itself and the >immense abyss that it treasures. In this way, all the powerful storms that originate in the Atlantic are redirected towards the canyon, which channels its energy in the form of waves on the platform of the popular >lighthouse.

Let's not fool ourselves, the iconic image of Nazaré is that of a large group of people gathered at the top of the cliff, precisely where the red lighthouse is located, so characteristic of the region. And that is what we are going to do: take a boat excursion of about 40 minutes to the canyon area.

We will do everything with extreme caution, maintaining a moderate distance, to observe this spectacle that has no parallel. But it is not the only thing that this journey implies, since, you will also be accompanied by one of our accredited instructors, versed in giving an explanation about how these waves are created.

And finally, a detail that differentiates us from other companies: our boat, governed by a qualified skipper, has modern technology that allows us to obtain a 3D image of the canyon while we navigate aboveits surface. The never seen before, available to all users.
