Known as 'The Tram of Fear' by locals, Praia do Norte is famous for its giant waves, a result of the underwater Nazaré Canyon. These extraordinary waves have earned Nazaré a reputation as a world-class surfing destination, attracting thrill-seekers from around the globe.

Perched on a cliff above Praia do Norte is the iconic Forte de Sao Miguel Arcanjo. This 16th-century fortress not only offers stunning views of the beach and the powerful waves but also houses the Surfer's Wall, a tribute to those daring enough to ride Nazaré's giants.

After exploring the fort, your journey doesn't stop here. A scenic big-wave lookout walk along the cliff top awaits. A stroll down this path reveals an unfiltered, bracing spectacle of the Atlantic's might, as waves dance and crash against the coastline. A stunning opportunity for photography, contemplation and pure awe of nature's power.

So why should you consider this trip? For the thrill-seekers, it is an opportunity not just to watch but to be part of a global phenomenon, a true surfer's paradise. For the culture lover, the Forte provides a glimpse into Portugal's rich history. And for the nature lover, the rugged beauty of Nazaré's coastline offers a calm contrast to the waves' wild dance.
