Departing from the right bank of the Lima River, next to the pier where boats from the “lugar de passagem” (place of passage) once docked, this equestrian trail ascends the southern slope of the Arga mountain, towards the local village of Montaria.

The contrasting landscape along the approximate 13 km of the trail is distinct, reflecting mankind’s adaptation to disparate environmental conditions. If the somewhat flat areas of the valley fostered a dispersed settlement pattern, where only historically significant centres stand out, as is the case with Lanheses, as you ascend in altitude, you will notice that the scenery and terrain changes influencing the agglomeration of rural settlements and the farming systems.
