Barbudoの貸別荘

We meet and introduce ourselves to the others to then start a 15 minutes walk at the beautiful rural community of Águas Santas until we get to the beautiful Cavado river enjoying the fresh air and the mountains views in this green Minho village; after we will get a fine spot to start practice some very simple, harmonious and healthy exercises of Chi Kung. Then, in a more contemplating mood, we do some meditation embraced by a deep spirit of nature and well being. By the end everyone is free to go into the safe waters or just totally relax! Other things to note This Airbnb Experience is open to everyone of all ages and to those who only want to be part of and surrounded by nature.
