A Camp Tamanco Yurt

Embrace the fresh air and a great night’s sleep under a starry night sky! The yurts have an impressive wooded frame, covered by canvas and with a thick layer of wool-felt for insulation (both against the sun and the cold). This is a new concept in the field of sustainable recreation. Adventurous, romantic and stylish. Each 3m Ø Yurt features lighting, wood floors, a queen bed and an electrical outlet for charging devices. We provide linens and towels for use at the communal bath house. Tamanco is a campground hostel in the green heart of the Costa da Prata, between Porto and Lisbon. A unique base to explore the center of Portugal. Visit the many special monuments and places in the region, browse local markets, discover Portuguese cuisine and drink ‘um cafézinho’ in one of the many pastelarias. Go hiking in pristine green or along the secluded beaches or endless sand dunes that stretch from Figueira de Foz to Nazaré, which with the highest waves in the world, can rightfully be called the mecca for surf enthusiasts.
