Itinerary
Made of Earth and Soul, this is one of the most magical places in Portugal. World Biodiversity Reserve by UNESCO since 2009, the park is a unique attraction in Portugal, for its size, diversity, and beauty. There are centuries-old agro-pastoral villages shaped by their isolation, history, and different local resources. Walk through them and interact not only with the inhabitants, but also with the animals that populate the park. You can also experience the most beautiful waterfalls in the park in a safe and pure fun environment. Lover of good food? You can taste the fantastic flavors of our picnic accompanied by one of the most beautiful views of the park. If on the other hand you would rather enjoy the comfort of a closed space, we suggest a lunch in a typical restaurant of the region. Do you like to walk? We have for you breathtaking idyllic trails with longer or shorter distances and less or more demanding walks. Personalization is the key to the success of your day!

This was one of the most breath taking excursions! Even though Portugal was extremely hot this day- our guide Daniel did an exceptional job showing us views, lagoons and sharing all his knowledge, while still making sure we stayed cool and safe with the heat. He truly made the experience with how hands on he was with our safety, our enjoyment and making sure we got to take in all of the beautiful scenery that the national park had to offer. Would absolutely return & do this again, but only if Daniel could be the guide!
Geres is magical! Gratitude to guide Teresa for passing the safety for me to cross my limits and make the trail in nature to find one of the most beautiful places in the world. Theresa, with her astral high, made a wonderful connection with the group making the experience even more enjoyable.
What an experience! This full day tour was everything I could have imagined and more. Not only was the hike great, but the views were spectacular. The trip was made even more enjoyable by our guide, Bea. She was encouraging, funny, and made sure we saw and appreciated the hidden gems of the park. Truly an unforgettable experience, thank you to Bea for her amazing guidance. She truly cares about not only your experience but the national park itself! I can’t wait to come back and when I do, I’ll be asking for Bea!
The guide Teresa was spectacular. took us to essential points of Gerês and was super attentive. to repeat!
Hugely recommend this tour! Our guide, Marco Botelho, was fantastic: great energy and sense of humour. Marco went above and beyond to tailor the day to our specific group, choosing hiking routes which were a really rewarding challenge (we didn't want 'easy mode'!), with crystal clear lagoons and stunning waterfalls at the end of them. We enjoyed bumping into a shepherd and his goats along the way. Lunch in the village restaurant was excellent: delicious steak and vinho verde. This trip was a real highlight of our time in Portugal.
The tour was so well organized. The people in our group were just amazing. Our guide, Bea, was so professional, caring with a great sense of humor. I had an amazing time . Thank you Bea to make it so much fun.
Marco the tour guide was excellent!
I don’t even have to words to describe how amazing and special this day was to me. Bea was our guide and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. She taught me so much and took us to the most amazing places. She is so incredibly smart and I felt so comfortable the whole day. I left the tour genuinely feeling like I made a new friend!!
A wonderful day out with Marco on a small group tour to the Peneda-Gerês national park. A beautiful nature lovers experience visiting stunning waterfalls, views over the mountains, hiking along attractive tree and fern lined tracks. A delicious picnic lunch provided and a visit to the pretty town of Geres. Marco was well organised, friendly and professional. I highly recommend this tour
We had an amazing time with Francisco! He was very funny, incredibly knowledgable, and considerate of everyone in the group.
