Activity description

The Planalto de Castro Laboreiro is a restricted area where only the local population and the companies that obtained the consent of the ICNF can access to.

In this tour, we offer visitors a view of one of the largest megalithic necropolises of the Iberian Peninsula, testimony to a human occupation dating back to prehistory, composed of almost eight dozen monuments, possessing different types of architectures - probably built from the fifth and fourth millennium days before the birth of Christ (BC), making it the largest megalithic necropolis in the Iberian Peninsula and one of the largest in Europe. It also has two known places where you can admire rock engravings.

This territory is not only a sacred prehistoric space, it is also one of the last refuges of the Iberian Wolf where we can see vestiges of the same, excrements and bones of its preys, like roe deers, wild boars and small mammals.

My girlfriend and I did a canyoning tour with Helder and Duarte this morning. Was a really great experience, great tour guides that really go the extra mile for a great experience:) we wish the tour could last longer. We will be back again for the next step: the Deep canyoning experience:)

We had a wonderful morning with the two guides, Elder and Duarte and Nina the Castro Laboeiro dog. The whole trip took 2 hours over the mountain tops and through wooded areas. We had our 11 year old daughter with us but you still need to be quite nimble to climb up and down. I can only recommend this hike

Did canyoning with an 8 and 10 year old. The experience was great and the kids are already looking forward to doing it again. As an adult it was also challenging and fun. The instructors Hélder and Filipe were very nice and very accommodating to the children's needs. Very recommended!
