Exploring Riga's Waterways
Pesoe SIA brings island and river delta exploration to life for seniors in Riga
We're dedicated to creating meaningful outdoor experiences along the Daugava islands and Ķīšezera shoreline. Our carefully designed paths and guided explorations ensure that seniors can safely discover the natural beauty and rich ecosystems of Riga's unique waterway landscapes.
Our Foundation
How pesoe SIA Started
We've been thinking about senior outdoor access in Riga for over a decade. What started as conversations with local retirees became a mission to open up these incredible natural spaces.
Recognition of Need
Seniors in Riga wanted safe, accessible ways to experience the islands and shorelines. Many felt hesitant about uneven terrain or unclear paths. We listened to those concerns.
Partnership Building
We've worked with local environmental groups, accessibility experts, and park authorities to develop routes that don't compromise on safety or environmental responsibility.
Continuous Improvement
We don't just create paths and forget them. Rest areas are maintained, signage is updated, and feedback from walkers shapes how we evolve our offerings.
Community Connection
These aren't just walking routes. They're ways for seniors to stay active, connect with nature, and build friendships with others exploring the same landscapes.
Our Approach
Thoughtful Path Design
Every route we develop considers the real challenges seniors face. That means proper spacing between rest areas, stable walking surfaces, and clear navigation without feeling patronizing.
- Rest benches positioned every 200-300 meters along Ķīšezera paths
- Daugava island circuits designed for 45-90 minute walks at comfortable pace
- Wide, well-maintained paths suitable for walkers and mobility aids
- Accessible parking and starting points for each exploration route

Our Commitment
Why We Do This Work
