What to expect
Meet your guide at Cumieira Café Pico and transfer to the starting point of the hike. Begin your guided walk to Marão Mountain, one of the highest mountains in Portugal.
Take in the scenery of the Marão range, which forms a natural wall dividing the lush green landscapes from the Douro Valley. Admire massive rock formations, hardy vegetation, and groups of sheep often grazing along the slopes.
Walk along a trail lined with a diversity of trees, painting the trail in deep shades of green. Listen to the rustling of their leaves in the wind, adding a touch of mystery to the experience. See small mountain streams flowing down the hillsides, their clear waters offering moments of calm and connection with nature.
Reach the highest point, where a small chapel rests peacefully at 1,412 meters of altitude. If the sky is clear, catch a glimpse of the sea from the top. Up there, the wild landscape and pure mountain air bring a deep sense of stillness and well-being.
Afterwards, make your way down and enjoy a well-deserved traditional Portuguese lunch.
