It is important to remember to hydrate more frequently and to avoid the hottest hours of the day!
Hiking
Explore nature trails, nature parks or environmental preservation areas in your region. Enjoy nature, breathe fresh air and appreciate the beautiful landscapes of our country.
Always wear appropriate clothing and footwear suitable for this activity. In addition to a hat and a bottle of water in order to combat dehydration and high temperatures.
Camping
Plan a weekend getaway to go camping. Find a campsite suited to your preference whether surrounded by trees or by the sea, pitch your tent (tip: you can buy or rent) where permitted and enjoy snacks, grills and stories around the fire.
Water sports
Try water activities such as swimming, surfing, stand-up paddle, kayaking or sailing. With the heat, the water temperature also becomes warmer, which makes this type of activity more suitable.
In Portugal you can choose lakes, rivers or beaches and do the activity that suits you best. Water activities are perfect for those who like the water and in some cases, a little adrenaline.
