About Peneda-Gerês National Park Tour

This tour is more than a simple visit to Peneda-Gerês National Park: it’s a feeling!

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

Plan for the day

Begin your journey with a 4x4 pick-up at the pre-selected meeting point, joining a small group of like-minded adventurers. Explore breathtaking mountain landscapes on short walks to a crystal-clear lagoon and a magical waterfall—perfect for grounding yourself in nature or enjoying a refreshing swim.

Step back in time as we visit a typical village, where you’ll discover a fascinating way of life rooted in traditions and a commitment to heritage and cultural preservation.

Food is a great way to preserve culture, and you’ll enjoy a traditional meal in a welcoming local restaurant, featuring fresh, flavourful, and delicious food—Vinho Verde (green wine) included!
