Buggy Adventure in Canelas with NaTour Way

Situated in the rugged landscapes of Arouca, Portugal, NaTour Way offers an adrenaline-charged buggy experience that pairs raw nature with mechanical thrill. The 90-minute Buggy Experience invites adventure seekers to traverse Monte do Pereiro, a terrain marked by rolling hills and ancient mining history. This route provides riders with commanding 360º panoramas of the iconic Ponte 516 Arouca, one of the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridges, and the nearby Passadiços do Paiva—a network of wooden walkways hugging the stunning Rio Paiva gorge.

The area’s geology is distinctive, featuring schist rock formations that shape the undulating paths and contribute to the region’s mining heritage. Riders pass by the centuries-old Volfrâmio (tungsten) mines, remnants of a mining era that adds a unique historical layer to the route. The buggy’s nimble power allows guests to tackle natural obstacles, from uneven tracks to narrow passages filled with local oak and pine woodlands.

The journey culminates at Praia Fluvial do Areínho, a pristine riverside beach known for its crystalline waters and natural pools. It’s the perfect spot to cool down and absorb the serene environment after an energetic ride. NaTour Way’s buggy trips stand out as an accessible way to experience Arouca’s wild heart—combining speed, landscape, and heritage in a region that balances adventure tourism with conservation.

For visitors based near Porto, just over an hour away, this trip provides a refreshing contrast to city life and a direct line into Portugal’s less-traveled inland beauty. NaTour Way’s commitment to sustainable adventure adds value, making their buggy tours a vibrant option for thrill-seekers eager to connect with nature without shortcuts.
