This cultural boat tour gives you a laidback look at life along the Guadiana River, which acts as a natural border between Portugal and Spain. Setting off from Centro Nautico 818's private pier, you'll cruise along historic trade routes and river channels. Along the way, you'll hear stories that link both banks and learn how the river shaped their towns, traditions and heritage. The natural setting adds to the experience as you take in the river, the landscape and the steady rhythm of nature around you before returning to the pier.
