Arouca, located in northern Portugal’s lush Arouca municipality, is a gateway to dramatic landscapes shaped by the striking granite formations of the Serra da Freita and the winding Ecovia do Vale do Arda trail. NaTour Way offers an invigorating way to move through this diverse terrain with electric scooter tours that thread through the historic village center and along ecological corridors that highlight the region’s rich natural heritage. The Ecovia do Vale do Arda is a standout trail following the Arda River, where forested slopes and rocky outcrops provide a varied backdrop—a perfect blend of nature and history. The electric scooters deliver a smooth ride over this rolling landscape, allowing visitors to cover ground efficiently while soaking in the surroundings.
What sets NaTour Way apart is how they balance thrilling scooter rides with storytelling.
