Itinerary
The exuberant vegetation covering the mountains, exhibit every shade of green, include a holly bush wood - unique at a national level - and endemic species such as the Gerês lily, whose blue-violet colours grace the fields. The rugged mountainous terrain is cut across by rapidly flowing rivers and streams, including many waterfalls, which finally slow down their pace in dams such as those of Caniçada, Vilarinho das Furnas or Portela do Homem. The landscapes are quite stunning.

Good info before pick you. Nice guide whom spoke very good english. Spectacular wievs, exciting history and good food. A swim in crystal clear water in a lagoon was a high light,as the Devils bridge and the old wolf trap
Amazing day and awesome hikes/climb! Our guide was pretty strategic in the process… walking and admiring the climbers on the waterfall and before we knew it, we climbed one of the highest points Peneda~ Geres National Park! The most impressive thing was ~ 2 of 6 adults have severe issues with heights!!! Both did it and we all did it ~ drug free!!! :) Phobia must have vanished with the low clouds! Thank you ~ amazing tour guide (sorry forgot name).
