Our tour through Peneda-Gerês was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Between the breathtaking waterfalls, crystal-clear lagoons, scenic hiking trails, refreshing swims, and the unique experience of visiting the wolf village, every moment was unforgettable. Riding through the park in a vintage Land Rover made it all feel like a true adventure. What truly made the day special, though, was our guide, Cata. She was not only extremely knowledgeable about the park, the wildlife, and the history of the wolf village, but also incredibly friendly and FUN to be around. Her passion for both the adventure and her deep connection to the village shone through in everything she shared, which made the experience feel authentic and personal. Thanks to Cata’s energy, enthusiasm, and expertise, we didn’t just see Peneda-Gerês—we felt it. I would 100% do this tour again and would absolutely request Cata as our guide. Highly recommend!

Excellent hiking areas. Crystal clear water. Check the trail conditions before going out. On some of the trails, I’d recommend brining long pants to mitigate the thorns. If nothing else, definitely long socks!

Love it, absolutely stunning place with no people or any civilisation. Empty roads, delicious coffee, and local food. Everywhere, free-roaming cows and horses. Beautiful mountains, crystal clear waters and deep pine forests.

We were staying at a campsite nearby for a few days and did some cycling and walking in the national park. We really could have done with more time to explore more thoroughly. I haven't done a lot of climbing by bike recently, but didn't have much option here. Old villages - the member of staff at our campsite said it is a lifestyle that hasn't changed in 300 years. Cows with big horns wandering about on the road. The occasional dog wandering as well. Some photos, but they don't do it justice.
