What to expect

Embark on an off-road journey along the mountain roads and steep slopes of the Arada mountain range, including the once-feared Portal do Inferno (Hell's Gate) road.

Your adventure begins in Arouca, where you'll meet your guide, who will provide a brief overview of the day's activities. From there, you'll be driven across the Arada Mountain, with opportunities to appreciate its beauty and learn about its history. Along the way, there will be moments to relax, capture photos, and even glimpse the ocean from certain vantage points.

The tour will take you to the village of Regoufe, you'll learn about the era when these mountains bore witness to turmoil due to mining exploitation during the two World Wars. You'll also venture into the deserted village of Drave. Nestled in a deep and almost inaccessible valley, this uninhabited schist village will make you reflect on the simplicity and challenges of rural life in times past.

If you choose the tour with meal, you'll enjoy a traditional Arouquesa roasted veal at a local restaurant. To conclude your meal, indulge in some ancient conventual pastry for dessert, providing a sweet end to your experience.
