Nocturnal visit to the Côa Valley Rock Art

7 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English and 1 more

We pick you up at the heart of the Douro Valley wine region and take you to have a typical meal at your guide's house. Then we have a scenic drive to Côa Valley.

The Côa Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its unique importance in understanding the origins of human art.
The night visit aims to create the optimal conditions for fully appreciating the beauty of the Paleolithic art of the Côa Valley.

Easy and safe access to the accessible rock panels at the Penascosa site, combined with the tranquil, serene atmosphere of this riverside setting, makes this the ideal location for this unique type of visit. Full-moon nights are especially magical—particularly during the warm evenings common in the Côa region from spring through autumn—as the moonlight reveals the river and the silhouettes of the surrounding hills against the landscape.
