Canoagem Rio Mondego

Varaktighet: Mellan 3 och 4 timmar

Descent of the rio Mondego, the longest Portuguese river, on a 12km section between the Carvoeira weir (Penacova) and the Praia Fluvial dos Palheiros / Zorro (Coimbra). This is the largest and most popular tourist activity in the country, and is suitable for a canoeing introduction. It has a stunning natural setting with varied vegetation and countless birds.
During the summer, there are some small rapids that provide a little excitement.

Halfway through the descent (at around 1pm) there is a stop on the riverbank where participants have something to eat, which they should bring from home.

Bra att veta

SUMMER: important to bring a hat and sun cream suited to your skin, light clothing (shorts and t-shirt) or clothing suited to the day’s weather conditions, a flask or water bottle, a light lunch (sandwiches, fruit, energy bars), closed sandals or old trainers that can get wet (flip-flops are not recommended), dry clothing for the end and a towel.

WINTER: warm, light clothing to wear under the wetsuit, for example a thermal top and trousers. If you do not hire or do not have neoprene boots, we recommend wearing old trainers, a flask or water bottle, a light lunch (sandwiches, fruit, energy bars), dry, warm clothing for the end and a towel.

Rekommendationer:
Under vintern eller perioder med kraftigt regn kan flodflödet ändras snabbt inom några timmar, så nedstigningen beror alltid på en analys och bedömning av floden vid tidpunkten, med hänsyn även till deltagarnas erfarenhet och åldersgrupp. Vi kan till och med tvingas ställa in en nedstigning i början av den.

In autumn and winter we do not recommend the participation of children and young people up to 16 years old. Participants should pay attention to their glasses. They should come with straps/cords so they are not lost in the river.

We do not recommend the use of mobile phones, cameras and other electronic devices during the descent. During the descent nothing should be left visible inside the vehicles. And anything considered valuable should be placed in a backpack (which will always stay with the participants or with the organiser).
