Overnight adventure - Seatrekking, hiking, and swimming near Coimbra


Details
Join the Lisbon Kayak Crew on our next overnight adventure!
We're heading north toward the Coimbra area with up to 10 adventurous crew members for an unforgettable active weekend in and out of the water.
We will head to Coimbra city for a stroll around town and lunch before we head to the starting point of the river activity. Accompanied by expert local guides, we will explore the river Ceira by way of seatrekking - like canyoning, but in the water! The route includes a natural water slide, a gorgeous waterfall, a rope swing, and the opportunity for several jumps into the river (from 2 to 8m). Check out this video for a better idea of what to expect. We will spend the evening relaxing in our common space to have dinner together, play some games, and get to know each other a bit more.
After breakfast the following morning, we will head out on one of the local trails to explore the mountainous surroundings. We will then head over to the beautiful river beach of Fragas de São Simão to enjoy a picnic lunch lounging in the sun and enjoying the crystal clear water before we head back to Lisbon.
