Take a scenic drive into the forest to the Fragas do Eume Nature Park where you will begin your nature exploration. Cross the Fornelos Hanging Bridge and set off on an approximately 1.5-mile trek to explore the largest coastal Atlantic forest in Europe.
You will make several stops for the guide to give a commentary on the flora and fauna of the area as well as taking a moment to capture one of the many waterfalls that you will encounter along the densely forested mountain slope.At the end of the trail, you will reach Caaveiro Monastery, a real architectural gem. Dating from the 9th century, it stands at the heart of the Nature Park and displays the marks of the several transformations undertaken over the centuries.
A stop will be made at Taverna de Caaveiro, where you can quench your thirst with a refreshing soft drink, coffee or tea, and accompanied by a local Spanish omelette, olives, biscuits and cake before beginning your return trek to the trailhead.
Please note: Wear hiking/sturdy shoes or boots. Bring a backpack with a windbreaker and a hat. Please realistically assess your physical fitness and ability prior to booking, as the walk is uphill, over unpaved, rough walking tracks with many steps. Not recommended for those guests who suffer from vertigo, as a hanging bridge must be crossed.
