Overview

This isn’t just a drive through Gerês — it’s a full-day journey through stunning nature, local culture, and hidden stories. From the wolf traps of Fafião to waterfalls like Tahiti and Arado, each stop reveals a different side of the National Park. We go beyond the typical tourist route, walking short trails to viewpoints like Pedra Bela and exploring the ancient Roman road in the Albergaria forest. We pause for a traditional lunch in a local village and finish with the spiritual charm of São Bento da Porta Aberta. With small groups in a classic Land Rover and a passionate local guide, you get an authentic, immersive experience in one of Portugal’s most beautiful regions.

What To Expect

Fafiao

In the heart of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, Fafião is a small mountain village with a big soul. On this brief but meaningful stop, you’ll explore the traditional granite houses and learn about the strong local identity tied to nature and wolves. We'll visit the historic Fojo do Lobo — an ancient stone structure used to trap wolves — and enjoy a panoramic viewpoint over the rugged Serra do Gerês. It’s a quick dive into mountain life and legends before continuing our adventure through Gerês. A truly authentic moment off the beaten track, without losing the flow of the day.

Cascata Tahiti

One of Gerês' most iconic waterfalls, Cascata do Tahiti (also known as Fecha de Barjas), is a breathtaking natural gem. On this short 15-minute stop, you'll have the chance to admire its crystal-clear waters cascading over smooth granite rocks in a serene forest setting. It’s the perfect moment for photos, a deep breath of fresh mountain air, and a taste of Gerês' raw beauty without the long hike. Please note: due to safety and time constraints, we enjoy the view from a panoramic spot close to the road — not a swimming or trekking stop. A short but memorable moment to connect with nature before we continue our adventure through the national park.

Cascata do Arado

Hidden deep within the Gerês mountains, the Arado Waterfall is one of the region’s most picturesque and easily accessible waterfalls. On this stop, you’ll enjoy stunning views from a stone platform overlooking the powerful falls as they plunge into natural rock pools below. The sound of rushing water and the surrounding forest create a tranquil, immersive moment in nature. The short walk from the car park to the viewpoint is easy and rewarding, making it ideal for all ages. This 20-minute stop allows you to soak in the scenery, take photos, and connect with the peaceful rhythm of the national park before we continue our journey through the heart of Gerês.

Miradouro da Pedra Bela

The Pedra Bela viewpoint offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in Portugal. From this iconic high point in the heart of Peneda-Gerês National Park, you’ll overlook the winding Cávado River, lush valleys, granite peaks, and the village of Gerês far below. Surrounded by ancient pines and granite outcrops, it’s the perfect moment to pause, take photos, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and reflect on the grandeur of nature. This short stop (around 15–20 minutes) allows time to enjoy the view without a strenuous hike. It’s a must-see highlight on our Gerês day tour, offering a true sense of the region’s natural beauty and scale.

Vilar da Veiga

Located near the thermal waters of Gerês, Vilar da Veiga is a charming mountain village and the perfect spot for our lunch break. Here you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere with traditional shops, local restaurants serving hearty Minho cuisine, and views of the surrounding hills and river. While we don’t include lunch, we’ll recommend some of the best places to try local specialties like grilled meats, “bacalhau à Minhota”, or vegetarian options. Guests have free time (about 1 hour) to eat, explore the small center, or even visit the nearby thermal park area. It’s a great moment to recharge and enjoy authentic northern Portuguese hospitality.

Mata de Albergaria (Gerês)

At the heart of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, we visit the Portela do Homem waterfall near the Spanish border — a place of crystal-clear waters and dramatic scenery. From here, guests may choose between two unique options: walk a short segment of the ancient Roman road (Geira Romana) that winds through the untouched Mata da Albergaria forest, a protected area home to centuries-old oak trees, hidden waterfalls, and sacred wildlife; or relax with a visit to a nearby natural thermal pool, perfect for a soothing dip (optional and seasonal). This part of the tour combines history, nature, and personal preference — whether you're in the mood for exploration or relaxation, the Gerês spirit is all around.

Barragem de Vilarinho das Furnas

This stop offers a glimpse into one of Portugal’s most mysterious and haunting landscapes. Beneath the calm surface of the Vilarinho das Furnas reservoir lies the ghostly remains of a once-thriving village, submerged in the 1970s to create the dam. On dry seasons, you might even spot the ruins emerging from the water. Surrounded by lush hills and wildlife, the dam is more than just a feat of engineering — it’s a place of memory, reflection, and natural beauty. We’ll pause here to enjoy the views, hear the story of the lost village, and take in the silence of a place where time stood still

Sao Bento da Porta Aberta

Nestled between mountains and river valleys, São Bento da Porta Aberta is one of the most visited sanctuaries in Portugal. This spiritual and cultural site welcomes pilgrims and curious travelers alike, with its peaceful atmosphere and impressive architecture. Surrounding the sanctuary, you’ll find small, family-run shops selling unique local products — from mountain honey and herbal teas to regional liqueurs, smoked meats, and handmade crafts. It’s a wonderful opportunity to support local producers and discover authentic flavors and traditions of the region. Whether you're drawn by faith, history, or culture, this stop offers a charming and flavorful glimpse into the heart of northern Portugal.

Praia fluvial de Alqueirão

Tucked away in a serene valley, Alqueirão River Beach is a hidden gem along the Gerês route — ideal for a peaceful moment by the water. Whether you dip your feet, relax in the shade of native trees, or simply take in the pure mountain air, it’s a perfect break surrounded by nature. Popular among locals but rarely crowded, this riverside spot offers calm waters, stone terraces, and a slow rhythm that contrasts beautifully with the wild energy of the waterfalls and mountain trails earlier in the day. A refreshing way to breathe in Gerês one last time before returning to the road.
