There are five different locations, all of them with unique features spread in a water surface of around 30 km, connected by pontoon boats. Castelo do Bode Lake’s climate and surroundings make a perfect spot for wakeboarding. This region is a destination that is excellent for practitioners, followers and fans around the world.
