Caving

Come and visit the territory of Arouca Geopark, the Passadiços do Paiva and/or the 516 Arouca Suspension Bridge, and know that we have a caving experience nearby to offer you.
Step literally “underground” and discover the underworld left by our recent ancestors in the tungsten (commonly known as wolfram), tin and even gold mines. In the first case, a metal widely used in weaponry, especially during the Second World War.
Get to know the way it was mined and its applications, but also the socio-economic notes and the influence these concessions had on the development of the region. Also take the opportunity to get to know the Vale do Paiva better on our Jeep Tour to the mines and, at the end, on the return to your vehicle.

• Experienced guides;
• Safety equipment (helmet and torch) for entering the mines;
• Transport by 4×4 Jeep;
• Complimentary water and local snacks;
• Photographic report;
• Personal Accident insurance.

Minimum of 2 participants, required for the activity to take place.
