Come and share with us a day of authentic experiences in nature, history and tradition in the beautiful region of Peneda-Gerês National Park.

We’ll exit the highway and go through beaten roads that will take us to the peaks of the mountains, between villages lost in time where herds of sheep and wild horses stroll. The Ethnographic heritage will show us how locals have built this unique mountain culture, between viewpoints, dams and slopes. We will immerse in the landscapes of the National Park on board a carriage with indigenous “Garranos” horses.

Afterwards, taste traditional mountain cuisine in a local restaurant, followed by a visit to the important Sanctuary of São Bento da Porta Aberta.After this visit, it's time to relax at a river beach with a cocktail matched to regional tastes.

All of this and much more, without haste, at your own pace, accompanied by an experienced and friendly certified guide who will make this day an unforgettable memory, to share with your loved ones.

Your guide will meet you at your accommodation, to start your private experience (All inclusive) in the Gerês National Park, between History and Nature.
