Hiking tour in the Caramulo mountains near Viseu

Join this hiking tour around one of the best-saved secrets from Portugal: the Caramulo mountains!

You'll be hiking through the Caramulo mountains near Visau. These mountains, situated about an hour from Porto center, are composed of granite and slate.

In these mountains, you have plenty of reasons to enjoy the varied nature. There are a lot of crystal clear mountain creeks crossing through the area which, together with some century-old trees and the abandoned watermills create a fairytale-like scenery.

You'll walk through a multitude of different shades of green formed by the leaves, small fields, moss and lichens that are growing on the trees. The appearance of lichens indicates really clean air quality, a known aspect of this mountain range.

The Caramulinho, with its highest point at 1.069 meters above sea level, offers you a perfect view of the surroundings. From the peaks with clear weather, you can see the sea on one side and, until spring, the snowy tops of the Serra de Estrela on the other side.
The Caramulo mountains are almost a secret place, adorable because of their diverse scenery, hidden valleys and the amazing views from the mountain tops.

At the end of the hike, you'll have the option to enjoy some local cuisine.

It is possible to divide the tour over two days and camp on a wild field a night where we enjoy a simple and delicious homemade meal.
