Experience Description:

This option offers a visit to Gerês National Park, the only national park in Portugal.


By choosing this experience, you'll enjoy a more relaxed day, with more driving and sightseeing. We’ll do a loop around the park, visiting the most beautiful waterfalls and viewpoints. Some walking will be necessary to access certain spots, but nothing too strenuous — just be sure to wear comfortable footwear.


Depending on the season and weather, there may also be a chance to swim in one of the waterfalls we visit (swimming is more likely between June and September).


Lunch will be at a very traditional restaurant featuring local cuisine, mainly meat dishes. Fish is available upon request. Vegan and vegetarian options are limited, but we will do our best to accommodate.


On the way back, we'll stop for a quick visit to Bom Jesus de Braga, one of Portugal’s most beautiful monasteries, for some photos.
