The park is one of the largest water parks in Northern Portugal, covering a significant area of the Tâmega River valley.
The facility utilizes the natural elevation of the hillside to create gravity-fed water slides.
The site incorporates a specific area designed as a 'tropical' pool to simulate a beach environment.
Due to its location in a rural valley, the ambient temperature can be noticeably different from the coastal areas of Porto.
