These boats, with roots dating back to the 19th century, are part of the romantic landscape of the place and offer a relaxing way to enjoy the surrounding nature.
Sailing on these boats is an experience that combines tranquillity, leisure and direct contact with the beauty of the sanctuary's natural surroundings. It's an opportunity for families, couples and tourists in general to contemplate the unique environment, among trees, gardens and the religious architecture that stands imposingly nearby.
