Base Camp is the foundation of all experiences at Tinhela610.  The cornerstones of Base Camp life are sleep, bathe, nourish and move.  This combination builds and stabilizes our personal foundation for preventative health, increased self-awareness and connection to oneself, others and nature.   1. Sleep and relaxation are fundamental to our overall health.  Learn to fall asleep peacefully and awaken rested in our simply luxurious and sweet smelling wood cabins.  The cabins are conceived to promote the best quality sleep possible. Each cabin houses two guests, with tailor-made single beds that are equipped with all natural mattresses from CocoMat, fine Portuguese  linens and soft wool blankets from Burel.   2. Bathe in our Japanese inspired bathhouse with fresh water from our local source. Detox in our traditional Finnish wood burning sauna then jump into the cool, clean Tinhela river.  We see water as a teacher and by being more attentive to our relationship with water we raise our level of awareness. We have selected ecological soaps in line with our commitment to safeguard the environment and protect our organic water treatment system. We encourage you to only ecological product while at Tinhela610. 3. Nourish yourself.  Our meals are inspired by the work of Dan Beuttner of the Blue Zones heritage.  Depending on your stay, the meals will be either vegetarian or flexitarian. Our aim is to have the highest quality food that is locally sourced, including cheese, olive oil, honey and wine from the Tras-os-Montés and Douro regions.  Breakfast and dinner are shared, convivial moments around the generous dining table. Lunch is boxed and ready to go to enjoy outdoors on one of the numerous hidden sweet spots along the river or up in the rocky ledges. 4. Move. Walk the paths and the ancient back roads, swim in the river, smell the wild lavender,  connect to the earth and the sky. Understand and unlock the automatic habits that bind you to your over active mind and turn on soft fascination.  Exercise is our last cornerstone.  Depending on your stay, there are many ways to move.  Our outdoor platform is perfect for yoga, internal martial arts, gym exercises or stretching.  At Tinhela610 you can hike and even try some wilderness running.  Eventually, we plan to hook up with mountain biking as there are many gravel paths throughout this region.  We are very close to the Vila Pouca de Aguiar access to the Camino de Santiago.  You can easily plan to walk the Camino before or after a stay with us.  Tinhela610, your Nature Home. In our secluded woodland, live an off-the-grid lifestyle to reconnect, regenerate and restore your overall well-being. Our electricity comes from on-site solar panels and our own source of water is heated by voltaic panels. The wood cabins are heated via ecological hot water radiators. We have a delicate phyto sanitation treatment system along with toilets that do not require water nor sewage pipes and do not harm the environment.   We compost useable waste and try not to purchase plastic items.  We promote a tech-free environment, which helps to de-connect the mind and soothe the soul.  However, the staff is connected in case of any emergencies.
