Destino Equestre

Alto Minho, in northern Portugal, is the new destination for lovers of equestrian tourism. Linking Viana do Castelo, Caminha and Ponte de Lima, a network of around 100 km of horse riding trails invites you to explore a region that stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Serra de Arga mountains, through the Lima river valley. At the pace of a ride, take in breathtaking landscapes, discover truly rural villages, be fascinated by the history and memories carved into a thousand-year-old heritage, enjoy our gastronomy and let yourself be swept up by living traditions! Feel the magic of watching up close the last semi-wild horse in Europe, which roams freely on the highest ground of the Arga and Santa Luzia mountains. The “O Seu Cavalo É Nosso Convidado” (“Your Horse Is Our Guest”) network is here to support your trip and offer you the best tourist experience, with ideal conditions for riders and horses. Accommodation, with a special focus on rural and manor-house tourism, restaurants and activity companies make up this network, ready to welcome you!
