Arouca Geopark

Arouca, Portugal

In Arouca Geopark it’s possible to travel in space and time. We were presented with a living book that tells the story of the Earth, more than 500 million years old, represented in the rocky landscape, the rushing rivers, the green landscape and the silence of the mountains.

Tucked away on the border between the north and center of Portugal, the Arouca Geopark has 41 sites of geological interest (geosites) over its 328 km2, almost half of which are classified by the Natura 2000 Network. Here, biology, history and culture coexist in perfect harmony with the geology on which everything is based.

So here, you will always have your place in history and together we can write a new story from the moment we say, “Welcome to Arouca Geopark”.

They’re a perfect blend of personal development with workshops, wellness with exercise and nourishment AND great fun with a group of amazing like-minded women who all want to reconnect with their true identity and take some time out to rest, rejuvenate, disconnect from the world, put themselves first for a change and let their hair down a bit!

They’re retreats for everyday women. Women who want to stop the ride and get off for a little while.

They take groups of up to 20 women to bucket list places for once in a lifetime experiences and they would love you to experience one too.

Equally, it’s not just a girly holiday either. It’s so much more than that. Wellbeing for women is at the heart of everything they do, they want you to return home rejuvenated and set up for success to make the changes in your life that will allow you to have a sense of wellbeing all of the time. That’s why they combine personal development with physical activity and spending time surrounded with the right kind of women.
