Full-Day Serra D' Arga Tour of Waterfalls, Watermills and Traditional Cornbread

Summary Description

Meet your dedicated guide at your hotel in Porto, or choose to be picked up from the train station or airport. Climb into a comfortable tour vehicle and head for the Serra D'Arga Mountains. 

Your guide will show you the hidden treasures of this picturesque area, one of Portugal's greenest regions.
