The Embarcadero de La Barca is located in Vilvestre, Salamanca, and is a starting point for boat trips along the Duero River. From here, the boats take routes that allow you to enjoy the impressive landscapes of the Duero Internacional and Arribes del Duero Natural Parks. These trips usually last around an hour and a half and offer the opportunity to observe the rich flora and fauna of the region, including birds of prey such as the golden eagle and the griffon vulture. In addition, the route allows you to contemplate the natural beauty of the cliffs and the Mediterranean microclimate of the area. 😊

You can get there by car 🚗 to the parking lot where the route starts. It is very short for everyone.

It is worth taking a look at the El pozo de los Humos waterfall. There are many different views and the area near the waterfall is very nicely designed for visitors. You can also take a circular walk from Masueco: towards the car park to the Pozo and then back to the village via a narrow hiking trail.
