General information

Deal overview
This canoe-raft descent is not suitable for the faint of heart. It is a crossing of the River Minho at high speed, crossing rapids following the river current from Lagoa do Louridal, located in the north of Portugal fort>, until reaching the river beach of Arbo, located in the municipality of Arbo, Galicia. Are you one of those who have always waited for this adventure?
Hours before the activity we will send you the exact location where we will meet. From there, everyone will take their vehicle and we will go together to a small lagoon in the Melgaço region, where we will leave the materials and climb into the jangada-canoe.
Before starting the activity, we will briefly explain the route and give you some tricks to correctly handle the oars and manage the raft canoe in the best possible way. The route starts at Lagoa do Louridal and ends at the Melgaço sports complex.
At the end of the activity we will toast with a glass of local Alvarinho and eat some donuts to regain strength.
These raft canoeshave capacity for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child). Children will be able to board the canoes as long as they are over 8 years old or taller than 1.20m. However, you can only carry out the activity from June until the end of September.
Gather your family or group of friends and come try the canoes along the border of Portugal with Galicia on an exciting day avoiding the rapids of Minho.
