Arborismo at Parque Aventura Cova da Baleia drops you into a compact, high-canopy playground in Ericeira: a series of aerial circuits that push balance, concentration and courage across suspended bridges, slides and trapezes at an elevation of 7 meters. The courses are designed to test skills while boosting confidence and helping participants confront vertigo in an outdoor setting.

THE ROUTE

Multi-level aerial circuits at 7 meters

The Arborismo experience threads a variety of acrobatic circuits through the treetops, with suspended bridges, slides and trapezes set roughly 7 meters above ground—designed to challenge balance and concentration.

THE CHALLENGE

Vertigo and confidence building

Participants confront and work through vertigo while developing self-control and self-esteem, making the course as much a mental exercise as a physical one.

THE OFFER

Four distinct circuits for varied skill and excitement

The operator offers four different circuits to suit a range of abilities and appetite for thrills, with each course combining bridges, slides and trapeze elements to test concentration and coordination.
