PENEDA-GERÊS NATIONAL PARK TOUR

ABOUT THE PENEDA-GERÊS NATIONAL PARK TOUR

Peneda-Gerês National Park - Where adventure meets nature, tradition and culture.
This tour is more than a simple visit to Peneda-Gerês National Park: it’s a feeling!
Let's be part of this special and authentic nature/cultural experience.

Embrace your adventurous side outside the busy city of Oporto: experiencing beautiful landscapes, magical paths, a waterfall, a lagoon, an ancient village and a tasty local gastronomy all emerged in magnificent mountains.

We offer you the gems of the National Park, the hidden secrets that the locals are kindly sharing with us!
Surrounded by gorgeous mountain landscapes you will make short and accessible walks to reach a crystal clear lagoon and waterfall taken straight from fantasy books.
Once there you will be able to ground yourself! Appreciate the magic scenery, wild swimming and the purest nature.

Throughout our day, we might feel like travelling back to ancient times. We step in one of the last communitary villages in the Portuguese northeast. Where you will get to know a real interesting way of living, based on traditions and focus on heritage and cultural preservation.

Food is a great way to preserve culture. Traditional meal in a local and welcoming restaurant with fair, flavoured, deliciou food and wine included!

"Changing the world at an arm's distance!"
Giving back to nature and the community by an environmental care project , it's our way to promote active and participative tourism.
Being on the tour means being part of the process of reforestation in the National Park.

Allow yourself to absorb all the sounds, smells, senses that this experience has to offer all year round.
