Private: Gerês National Park Tour

About the Experience

The National Park of Peneda-Gerêsis located in the north-eastern part of Portugal, along the border with Spain. Besides all the lagoons, waterfalls, small untouched villages, cattle, wild horses and goats, iberian wolfs, this is one of the places in Portugal where we have protected species of wild animals.

Instead of going to the areas of the park that everyone goes (and that the tour consists basically of forest and vegetation areas), this version of the National Park tour will take our clients to places, in the park area, where there’s a lot of cultural heritage, landmarks and lots of villages were we can still see how are (and were) the rural areas of the country.

It also includes some, or a lot of walking to preserved areas to provide a close contact with the land, animals, people, their traditions and way of life. 

Itinerary:

- Departure from Porto;
- Arrival to the village of Lindoso, visit to the local castle and “espigueiros”;
- Visit to Nossa Senhora da Peneda sanctuary (on the way, stop on one of the most beautiful view points in the region, and very high probability of passing by wild horses (garranos)); 
- Visit and lunch in Soajo, short walk through the village towards the place where they have the “Espigueiros” (granite storage places to store corn and keep it dry and away from animals). The “Espigueiros do Soajo” is one of our most interesting heritage representing our old farming traditions;
- On our way towards Porto, stop in multiple places, according with the time left to arrival, in other amazing view points (waterfalls/monuments).
