What you will experience
On this section without impounded pools, releases from Castelo de Bode can create rapids and speed up progression. It offers a different setting from the Bouçã reservoir section.
Along the route
The proposal follows the Castelo de Bode–Constância section. During low-flow periods without dam releases, Zêzere III is an alternative to consider; the route should be chosen before organising the group.
Requirements & preparation
Dam releases and river flow should guide route selection. Share the group's experience so the proposal and possible alternatives can be assessed.
