If chosen after booking, visit the Canada do Inferno Rock Art Site, offering one of the most significant ways to experience the prehistoric engravings in their original setting. Visits are conducted by the museum’s official guides, with site transport managed according to partner and operational conditions.

After lunch, proceed toward the heart of the Douro Valley. The transfer to Pinhão via the N222 is part of the experience, with river views and terraced slopes gradually unfolding.

If time permits, make a brief stop near Bagaúste Dam or the riverside area. This adds an additional layer of Douro context, showcasing the river as both a scenic landscape and a functional waterway.
