We believe you deserve the chance to enjoy even more of our beloved region by exploring
what it has to offer in greater depth.
Thus, you are invited to marvel at this sub region that is Douro Superior, which encompasses 2
World Heritage sites (Douro Valley and Côa Valley).
We recommend that any traveler who is planning to visit Douro Superior, to schedule a
minimum of three days so that you can live the experience to the fullest and enjoy the most of
this ancient, magical and idyllic region.
The tour will be carefully personalized according to your specifications. Whether it be 3 days or
more, whether you stay on a luxurious farm or in a villa, leisure and tranquility are guaranteed.
No matter the selections you make ,we suggest these indispensable experiences :
• Guided tour to the Archeological Park of the Côa Valley, classified as UNESCO World Heritage
site in 1998. The park has the largest known open-air collection of Paleolithic rock art.
You will visit the award winning museum and discover a magnificent place near the wild Côa River, a tributary of the Douro, where you will have the
opportunity to observe authentic artistic manifestations that are engraved in stones that are
over 25,000 years old.
• Private boat ride for 4 hours, through one of the finest and most peaceful areas of the Douro
River, where you will be able to dive in, and hopefully, see a golden eagle. You will also have
the chance to see the site where the mythical Baron of Forrester drowned. Then you will have
lunch near the river in a place that only the locals know.
• Visit to the exclusive vineyards that made Douro wines reach the highest level of quality in
the world, such as Quinta da Erva Moira or Quinta do Vale Meão (where the most iconic
Portuguese wine was created: Barca Velha), and experience a tasting of the most
representative wines of Douro Superior.
• Visit secular viewpoints like the Santuário de S. Salvador do Mundo or Srºa do Viso, and be
amazed by the astonishing views Douro Superior has to offer.
• A journey in time visiting castles older than Portugal or the ruins of ancient Roman villages,
where you will see for yourself that wine production has been taking place there for about
2000 years.
• Take rest at night in incredible locations that are part of Portuguese traditions and live an
unforgettable experience. Be it luxurious wine resorts or authentic family wine-producing farms, the choice is yours.
