What to see in Pocinho

Pocinho, nestled in Portugal's Douro Valley, is a serene village embraced by rugged beauty. Located along the meandering Douro River, it's a gateway to terraced vineyards and historic quintas. This charming destination invites exploration of scenic wonders, traditional culture and wine adventures in the heart of the Douro.

Near Pocinho, you'll find one of Europe's most remarkable archaeological treasures— the Côa Valley Archaeological Park, home to ancient rock engravings that date back thousands of years. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a fascinating glimpse into the prehistoric past of the Douro region. The rock engravings, known as petroglyphs, are scattered throughout the park and can be explored via guided tours. These engravings depict various scenes, including animals, human figures and abstract symbols, providing insights into the lives and beliefs of our distant ancestors. The park offers different routes and hiking trails that take you to various archaeological sites. The Penascosa trail, for example, allows you to visit some of the most significant engravings while enjoying the stunning landscapes of the Côa Valley.

The Douro Valley is renowned for its exceptional wine production, and a visit to Quinta do Vale Meão provides a fantastic opportunity to savour some of the finest wines in the region.

Quinta do Vale Meão offers guided tours of its estate, where you can explore the vineyards, wine cellars and the winemaking process. The estate is known for its focus on producing both table wines and Port wines, allowing you to experience the diversity of the region's offerings.

Exploring the Douro River from Pocinho offers a serene and scenic adventure through the heart of the valley. Several tour operators provide river cruises that allow you to appreciate the breathtaking landscapes, terraced vineyards and charming villages that line the riverbanks.
