What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Peneda-Geres National Park, Peneda-Geres National Park, Northern Portugal
PROGRAM
Before we begin the hike, we'll have one of the most picturesque roadtrips of your life, to the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Halfway, we'll stop at a local cafe for bathroom, to get something to eat/drink and then head on our way.
When we get to the starting point, we'll do what is my favorite trail of the entire park, where we will let ourselves be soaked up with all that it has to offer, from huge waterfalls, incredible viewpoints, pasture animals with their shepherds and abandoned shelter huts, until we reach a lagoon with incredibly transparent waters, where we will stop to relax for a while and, if you want, also swim.
Duration: 9 hours

Pedro organised such a enjoyable daytrip, might be the highlight of our holiday! The hike was through such a magical area with many beautiful spots, the (not heavy) rain and clouds even added to this! The hike was a good workout with enough breaks for water/food/bathroom (in the bushes😉) and every now and then, Pedro explained e.g. some of the historical background of the area. After the long hike, the relaxing swim in the hotsprings in a beautiful scenery was very welcome and the last stop at an old castle gave more pretty views. Even the cartrip from Porto and back was enjoyable with lowkey chatting and a good musicplaylist! Plenty of stops along the way for food & bathroom. The group being small made it easy to chat & connect with everyone while still being able to relax and enjoy the quietness of the area. Again, thank you so much Pedro!An incredible day at this stunning national park. Our guide Pedro was exceptional - he communicated clearly how to meet for the pick up, offered to stop for sandwiches/drinks to take to the park, and was informative about the area and the hike.

An incredible day at this stunning national park. Our guide Pedro was exceptional - he communicated clearly how to meet for the pick up, offered to stop for sandwiches/drinks to take to the park, and was informative about the area and the hike. We are a couple in our late 60's and the hike was strenuous but the water and picnic break in the middle made it really enjoyable. The scenery is stunning. We enjoyed Pedro - he was friendly, informative, and helpful as we hiked. With the travel to and from Porto and the hiking it is a long day and will be a great memory of Portugal. Thanks Pedro!Wonderful day! Pedro was really reactive and write to me soon after the booking. The day was just more then perfect! We were a small group of 4 and Pedro choose a wonderful hike just hard/easy enough for the group (around 10km total for us but there were different options). We were mostly our l...
Wonderful day! Pedro was really reactive and write to me soon after the booking. The day was just more then perfect! We were a small group of 4 and Pedro choose a wonderful hike just hard/easy enough for the group (around 10km total for us but there were different options). We were mostly our little group alone on the trail with nature, views and mountains around just for us. Pedro knows the place and he is always caring for the group in some more tricky part. He brings us to two different place to swing that I’d probably didn’t choose if i were there by ourselves and it was the perfect spot! Also, he is always there to give a hand if there’s a bigger rock to climb. So, let’s say that day really was remarkable! Book with Pedro without doubt if you feel to have a day out of track and full of nature!My sister and I took this trip and loved it! Unfortunately, Pedro was unable to pick us up from our apartment on the day of our trip but sent lots of instructions on how to get to a suitable meeting point (which was a very easy journey by train).

My sister and I took this trip and loved it! Unfortunately, Pedro was unable to pick us up from our apartment on the day of our trip but sent lots of instructions on how to get to a suitable meeting point (which was a very easy journey by train). The scenery was lovley, the area was peaceful and Pedro was a lovley host, we would definitely reccomend this trip to anyone who likes nature and the outdoors. Make sure to take cash for a snack or drink after the trip at the little shop before the journey home.Pedro was very accommodating. We booked the tour last minute and had a flight to catch that night and he managed to facilitate us with an earlier start. He was fully booked and he was able to rearrange other tourist for us to be able to go on this tour. 10/10 would recommend. Lovely hike and a ni...

Thank you!Beautiful location for a hike and swim. Our tour guide, Pedro, was very flexible and took good care of us. There were enough stops to get some food or refill the water.

Beautiful location for a hike and swim. Our tour guide, Pedro, was very flexible and took good care of us. There were enough stops to get some food or refill the water. During the trip towards the park and during the hike, I learned new things about Portugal and the region we visited. All by all a very pleasant day :) ! I really recommend this day trip.
