Boat trip to the Nazaré Canyon 40 min

A natural phenomenon, as long as it is not dangerous, is something that, given the opportunity, one should not miss. Imagine that there is a unique one in the world, of enormous attraction, which is relatively close to your homes, in the central region of Portugal. There, in the district of Leiria, is located one of the most curious towns in the whole country.

Because? Mainly, because you can still see deep-rooted traditions in their society, of great depth, such as cooking fish in the open air, in the street itself, or the ancient technique of dried fish, rigorously transmitted from generation to generation. But, on the other hand, Nazaré also offers another attraction hidden in the bowels of the earth.

We are referring to its famous canyon, which gives its name to the town, an underground formation that has an extension of 230 kilometers and reaches a depth of no less than 500 meters , which is why it has been declared the greatest underground gorge that exists in the Old Continent strong>.

On the other hand, there are two fundamental factors that cause high waves: first, the closeness to the coast of the canyon itself and the >immense abyss that it treasures. In this way, all the powerful storms that originate in the Atlantic are redirected towards the canyon, which channels its energy in the form of waves over the platform of the popular >lighthouse.

Make no mistake, the iconic image of Nazaré is that of a large group of people gathered at the top of the cliff, precisely where the red lighthouse is located, so characteristic of the region. And that is what we are going to do: take a boat excursion of about 40 minutes to the canyon area.

We will do everything with extreme caution, keeping a moderate distance, to observe this unparalleled spectacle. But this is not the only thing involved in this journey, since you will also be accompanied by one of our accredited instructors, versed in giving an explanation of how these waves are created.

And finally, a detail that sets us apart from other companies: our vessel , governed by a qualified skipper, has modern technology that allows us to obtain a3D image of the canyon while we navigate aboveits surface. The never seen, within the reach of all users.
