There is no shortage of options for exploring the area around Rio Mau. For lovers of hiking or cycling, the area around Rio Mau is full of wonderful places worth visiting, combining physical activity with leisure, rock art with fauna and flora. No public transport is nearby, so the best way to explore the area is by car or on foot. Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is a 43-minute drive from the property.
