The Lima River to Serra de Arga Equestrian Trail and the Serra de Arga Equestrian Trail, the latter circular in character, are two itineraries created under the project "Vilas e Aldeias Equestres entre Arga e Lima", which complement the already existing regional network of equestrian trails (see: www.garranos.pt).

These two routes provide a stimulating experience of immersion in nature, of contemplation of a multifaceted landscape mosaic, of adventure, exploration and discovery of the evolution of this territory over time.

Starting from the refreshing serenity of the Lima river margins, in the remarkable parish of Lanheses, we invite you to accept the challenge of climbing to the remote and genuine village of Cerquido, on the southern slope of the Arga mountain range, a mountainous system where herds of half-forbidden chamois live.

From the village of Cerquido you can continue your journey of discovery on horseback, taking the Equestrian Trail of the Serra de Arga, a circular route that surrounds this entire mountainous massif, following, through rural and grazing paths, the main mountain villages: Arga de Cima, Arga de Baixo, Arga de São João, Dem and, finally, Montaria.
