The experience

Shepherding cows in the mountains! The amount of work depends on the season and can be different everyday — but the work entails walking to accompany and turn them around, helping to take care of the babies, etc.

Get to know this traditional way of keeping cows — which has gotten hard to find in Europe — with a free range group that is indigenous to the Serra da Malcata region.

Programa detallado

Tasks consist of walking with the goats and helping to take care of the baby goats.

Sleeping will be in an old caravan near the goat sleeping place, for overnight protection, about 750 meters from the houses.

There is electricty only in the house, available from solar panels. There is no internet acess in the farm centre, since our system is a satellite one and is very limited.

Don't forget to bring good walking shoes and a sleeping bag.

Actividades & Turnos

Walking with the goats may be very time consuming. Most of the time you'll be just waiting for them to turn around or so, but your mind must be open for this.
