Miranda do Corvo

This zone is characterised by the enormous wealth of its natural spaces, relatively affected by human intervention. The diversity of landscapes is immense and this territory located between Ceira and Zêzere Rivers is the meeting point between the Atlantic vegetation and the typical Mediterranean. The landscape changes according to the light, the sound of the creeks changes according to the flow and unexpected scenarios arise, providing fortuitous encounters with a daring boar or a magnificent deer. Two unforgettable days not to be missed!

Day 1 — Vultures Trail

After several activities carried out in the area by a group of friends, it was born the Vultures Trail, internationally famous for the trail race that takes place there annually. Starting from the village of Espinho towards Gondramaz, a picturesque village hidden among dense vegetation, this hard trail goes through Lousã Moutain with its characteristic waterfalls, creeks and natural mountain passes. A real bath of nature to be enjoyed by those who have an excellent physical condition and do not fear obstacles.
