Gerês – A journey to the heart of Natureza

If you close your eyes and imagine that you're walking through a verdant forest, listening to the water running and the animals talking, you're probably thinking about Gerês.

For nature lovers, this is a must-see trip.
We speak of one of the greatest natural attractions in Portugal, and it is impressive not only because of the beauty of the landscape, but also its ecological value.

The Peneda-Gerês National Park is one of the last places in Portugal, and in the world, where you will find life in a natural state with rich and unique ecosystems.

This was the first protected area created in the country, being the only one with the status of a National Park and internationally recognised as a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.

It is a vast green area, in a pure state, and is divided between Portugal and Spain.

Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters of peace and tranquility

Getting into Gerês is like entering a world apart.
It’s a world full of mysticism and where you will find castles, ancient paths, ruins, rock art, lagoons and waterfalls.

On this visit, you will dive into the crystal-clear waters of four of the seven most emblematic lagoons of the region and rest to the sound of a waterfall in the distance.

Travel in the time capsule and experience the mystically-laden environment of wolf hunting in the famous Fojo do Lobo. Here you will discover one of the last refuges of the species contained in a series of stone walls, built in the Middle Ages, which served as a trap for wolves.

This is an intimate visit to uncover the traditions of a region that also invites you to take some time to find your inner peace, in places of worship such as the Shrines of Our Lady of Peneda and “São Bento da Porta Aberta”.

Continue the walk through some of the best viewpoints in the country, like the viewpoint of Pedra Bela. One thing we can guarantee: you will find and discover places where photographs do not do justice to the landscape that your eyes can see.

To recover your energy after the walk, there is nothing better than a short stop for lunch.

Choose one of the typical dishes of the region, ranging from the juicy meat of a Posta à Mirandesa, the stew to "Terras de Bouro" and the Biological Goat of Serra do Gerês – the kings of the table.

This is a tour for true nature lovers and for those who want to relax and recover their energy on unforgettable walks.

Visiting Gerês is to get as close as possible to paradise in Portugal.

Leave the city's chaos behind and travel through unique sounds and breathtaking emotions.

End the day relaxing in a unique spa in a kind of outdoor hot tub. We are talking about finishing up in the Spanish town of Torneros (Lobios) which is 3 km from the border post at Portela do Homem.
