Vale do Mogo, Chiqueda (alc04S)

Short walk between Chiqueda and Lameira on the southern outskirts of Alcobaça

The walk starts at the “Nascente” or head of the Rio Alcoa then follows a path through a wooded limestone gorge with some interesting geological features. At about the midway stage there is an uphill stretch on a country road, then through a quiet village before heading back cross country along the side of the valley and downhill to the cars. The walk can be slippery in places, especially after rain, so good footwear and walking poles (for those that need them) are recommended.
