Minho River Boat Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the fishing wharf in Tui to board a traditional wooden boat and set sail down the Minho River.

From the boat, we'll view the landscapes of Tui and the Santa Maria Cathedral, dating back to the 12th century.

We'll sail under the Tui International Bridge, known as "Friendship Bridge" in Portugal, which connects the two countries. The Portuguese town of Valença do Minho lies on the other side, featuring a remarkable fortress visible from the boat. This fortress has a history of destruction and rebuilding but retains Gothic and Baroque architectural details.

While drifting along the river, we'll learn about the flora and fauna in Minho. The mineral-rich riverbed supports diverse ecosystems, enabling various habitats for plants and animals on both banks.

After 45 minutes, we'll conclude the experience back at the dock.
