What you will experience
Rapids and a weir crossing give this river section its character. Arrival at the river beach connects the experience with the Moura Morta area in Vila Nova de Poiares.
Along the route
The canoeing programme follows the Fronhas–Moura Morta section, with progression guided by river conditions. Planning should account for a start near the dam and a finish at the river beach, without borrowing the Côja page's logistics.
Requirements & preparation
The route calls for some fitness and agility and considers contact with water likely. Include previous canoeing experience in your enquiry so the group can be assessed.
