Most of my friends like the beach... more than mountains. I was born near the beach, and although there is nothing like spending a day with your friends just laughing, feeling lazy and ending a day with your friends playing volleyball until sunset, mountains hold special feelings for me.
The way it makes you feel small and humble. All the things you are expecting to find on the bend of the dirt trail you follow. The green and the cold clean water. The whisper of wind in the trees. The sweat dripping when you finish climbing the last hilltop to find the scenic landscape you will never forget. This... This you can't find at the beach.
Other thing you can't find at the beach... solitude... and we all need it sometimes...
The Arado river is a small river that feeds the Caniçada Damn in the village of Gerês. The access to it is easy and its a destination for canyoning enthusiasts (I usually go with these guys from toboga). It is in the Gerês National Park and the best way to get there is driving from Braga heading toward Chaves. You can't miss it!
If you follow the river you will find it riddled with small secluded lagoons and waterfalls that lend themselves to some amazing moments, and perfect moments to relax and take in the scenery...
