Workshops

Sailmaking Techniques

The rope is one of the best friends of anyone who loves the mountains. Learning how to tie basic knots can mean whether or not you can climb a wall, build a table in the forest or not, carry gear or not.

With us you will learn how to distinguish knots from lashings and how to make various types of them so that you can use them every day.

Water Purification Techniques




Water is one of the crucial elements for the planet and for human beings and, increasingly, there is a need to raise awareness about saving it.

Did you know that there are several water purification techniques? Have you ever thought about collecting water, applying these techniques and then being able to drink it?

Can you imagine what will come out of this?

Anchor Valley Traditions

Walking in Serra d'Arga is like walking in a special place on the globe, with many secrets. One of them is the source of the Âncora River, located in one of the highest points of the mountain.

Are you curious to know the place?

Would you like to understand how special this mountain is where a river is born that flows into the sea in Vila Praia de Âncora?

We will show you and tell you the story.
