Embark on a journey through the heart of Trás-os-Montes, where nature, history, and traditions merge into an authentic and unforgettable experience. Visit a Celtic fortification, the Roman Thermal Baths Museum, and the Medieval Castle of Chaves. Enjoy a typical Transmontano lunch and a regional snack.
Start your day at a 3,000-year-old Celtic fortification, built on a hill with breathtaking views of the valley and river. Feel the spiritual force of the first inhabitants of the future city of Chaves.
Enter the city to visit the Roman Thermal Baths Museum, a space with over two millennia of living history. Walk through the cobbled streets of the old town, crossing the Roman Bridge, which has stood for centuries as a symbol of the connection between civilisations.
Continue your journey through time with a visit to the Medieval Castle of Chaves and the Renaissance fortifications that surround the historic centre. Built to protect the city during border conflicts, they are now a testament to 17th-century military architecture.
Next, enjoy a moment of pure well-being in the richest thermal waters in Europe, in outdoor pools surrounded by natural waterfalls. In winter, the hot water steams (hotest in Europe) in the cold Trás-os-Montes; in summer, it is gently cooled to ensure a refreshing thermal experience.
Included in the programme is a typical Transmontano lunch and a regional snack, with traditional dishes and drinks made with local products and served with the genuine hospitality of the region.
