Termas de Aregos is a thermal spa resort in the municipality of Resende in the Viseu district of northern Portugal, set in the dramatic gorge of the Douro river, where ferruginous and bicarbonate-rich spring waters filter through the ancient schist and granite of one of the most geologically ancient landscapes in Iberia. The Douro valley at Resende lies within the Port wine country designated as a UNESCO World Heritage landscape — the oldest demarcated wine region in the world (1756), where generations of wine growers have hand-built terraced vineyards on 500-metre schist slopes above the river in an agricultural feat of extraordinary human endurance. A thermal cure at Termas de Aregos combined with a river cruise through the UNESCO Douro wine terraces, a visit to a quinta wine estate, and a tasting of vintage Port in its place of origin creates the definitive Portuguese wellness and wine experience in one of Europe's most dramatic river landscapes.
