In the Boneca Mountain, in Sebolido, Penafiel, a breathtaking viewpoint, with a privileged view over the Douro river valley

Baloiço da Boneca is one of the most panoramic swings in all of Portugal. Located on a hill at the banks of the Douro River, this swing offers sweeping views of its nearby area, with even ferries from the river becoming visible. Reaching the top of the mountain requires a 20-minute uphill hike along an uneven surface with sharp rocks and gravel. Even with such an arduous journey, visitors can take comfort in knowing that halfway to the summit there is an amazing viewpoint which includes a wooden suspension bridge connecting two large boulder platforms. The breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and the Douro River make this swing one of the most iconic in Portugal and is a must-see for those visiting the area.
