1 / 64X4 Tour at the Corner of Atins
About this activity
Explore the dramatic landscape where the Preguiças River meets vast sand dunes and freshwater lagoons in the remote village of Atins. This full-day 4×4 adventure combines off-road thrills with swimming in crystal-clear lagoon waters nestled between towering dunes.
The village of Atins has attracted the attention of the tourists that pass by. Perhaps this is explained by the perfect combination formed between the Preguiças River, the dunes, the lagoons that form in the dunes and the beach.
On this tour we will immerse many in the lagoons with transparent waters.
