Route

The Tagus from Top to Bottom

We’ve outlined a proposed route — carefully designed to explore the Tagus River in depth. However, this path is flexible and may be adjusted as local councils and communities join us in this mission. 

The journey is scheduled for the last week of September 2025. But one month before that, we plan to visit each location, assess landing conditions, and meet with local leaders to clarify details, address concerns, and ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. 

The itinerary is divided into short segments of about 30 km each, allowing for safe landings and ample time to connect with and document each place.

! This route may change depending on the interest and participation of local communities.
