NATURE




Casa das Descobertas is beautifully situated in the nature. Mountains and forests surround our center. The area is very green and calm. The big national park Peneda-Geres starts, and continues into Spain, just east of our location. Twenty kilometers west of us, the sandy beaches that cover the coastline take over. The Lima River is close and flows through the center of Ponte de Lima.
There are good possibilities for hiking in the surroundings of Ponte de Lima. Numerous paths and small roads offer excellent opportunities to walk through the fields, forests, mountains and/or along rivers. If you prefer, it is also possible to meet the fascinating nature of northern Portugal on a bike, canoe, SUP or horse.
The Portuguese way of the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela passes through Ponte de Lima. We recommend this walk that could start in Lisbon or Porto if you want an adventure. Which starting point you choose depends on how tough an adventure you want.
