Baloiço da Caldeira de Tróia: A Sanctuary between Heaven and Earth

Nestled on the enchanting Tróia Peninsula, the Baloiço da Caldeira is not just a wooden seat hanging by ropes, but rather a door to a unique and unforgettable experience. This is a special place that combines the best that nature and tranquility have to offer, located in the parish of Carvalhal, in the municipality of Grândola.

The Surroundings of the Tróia Peninsula

The Tróia Peninsula, an extension of land over 25 km long and with a width varying between 0.5 and 1.5 km, It is an oasis of natural beauty between the Sado River estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. This sandy sandbank, formed over the last 5000 years, is a treasure of the Alentejo Litoral sub-region. The coastal landscape is punctuated by white sand beaches and sandy cliffs with reddish hues.

A Journey Through Time

It's not just the natural beauty that makes this peninsula a special place; The Roman ruins of Troy transport us to a distant past, where salting fish was the region's main economic activity. The remains of this complex that operated between the 1st and 6th centuries give us a unique insight into the history of the Tróia Peninsula.

A Unique Sensory Experience

The Swing of the Boiler of Tróia offers an unparalleled view over the lagoon of the Sado estuary, where the fresh waters of the river mix with the salty waters of the sea. Surrounded by dunes and an immense area of salt marsh visible at low tide, this swing is the perfect place for contemplation and relaxation.
