Boat trip on the River Douro - Porto

douro_vinhedos

A boat trip on the Douro River is a beautiful cue to navigate the great River of the North to know the hills and valleys of the Douro.

Travelling in the Douro is in the true sense of the word, make a boat cruise. It is without doubt the most relaxing, comfortable and romantic way of knowing the Douro valley. Several boats offer this service, the most traditional - small but comfortable boats in the shape of the traditional Rabelo boats, equipped with snack service on board - to the most luxurious vessels that include overnight stays and meals on board, floating hotels.

We strongly recommend you try a boat trip that includes the section between the pinion and Barca d'Alva (although less regular), this section can glimpse the Douro at its most wild and massive schistose Fráguas that compress the water, here more tumultuous. All this in the fantastic scenery of the Douro region that is a World Heritage Site. As we entered the Rabelo boats, and as they slide into the river, we feel that we are a natural paradise.

The beautiful terraced hillsides of the Douro valley, where the vineyards are planted, get close to Boatmen, extending to Barca d'Alva and offer one of the most impressive man-made countryside.
