Even with the slightly overcast weather and light rain, the tour was great. Our guide, Inês, was incredibly kind. The park is absolutely beautiful. We went into two waterfalls, and the lunch was excellent. I highly recommend this tour!
Bianca – Canada
We had Ricardo and he was an amazing guide! Plenty of insightful and knowledgeable information!! The hiking was easy (definitely need good walking/hiking shoes) and the natural pools were cold but it was fun to swim nonetheless! It was a chill day, relax with no stress. We took our time and the tour in the small Wolf Village was a must as we got to learn how they still live. The lunch was complete and tasty. Would recommend 😄
GetYourGuide traveler – Canada
It was a wonderful trip, definitely worth trying if visiting Portugal. Wear hiking shoes, it was misty/wet when I visited in early September and the trail was slippery in the rocky areas. Beautiful waterfall visits, definitely worth the hike for a nice swim. Amazing views. Lunch was okay.

Guide and driver great thanks Rui! And João great too. We had rain so activity adapted according to the weather of course but well managed. The park is superb and these multiple waterfalls are magnificent! We are delighted! Thank you very much 🤩 Magali and Freddy
