Uncover the wild, untouched landscapes of Portugal’s Peneda-Gerês National Park on The Ultimate Trek in Peneda-Gerês NP, crafted for adventurers who seek the solitude and serenity of nature’s most remote corners. This experience is designed for those who want to leave the well-trodden paths behind and immerse themselves in a world where time slows down and the wilderness reigns supreme.
Peneda-Gerês is a hidden gem, the oldest protected area in Portugal, where rugged mountains meet dense forests and ancient trails wind through valleys that few travelers ever see. This is a land of raw beauty, where wild Garrano horses roam free and oak forests shelter a rich array of wildlife, including the elusive Iberian wolf.
This ultimate tour takes you deep into this wilderness, offering a unique chance to explore a region that remains largely undiscovered by mainstream tourism.
As you journey along the GR50, you’ll encounter some of the park’s most breathtaking highlights. From the medieval village of Castro Laboreiro, perched high in the mountains, to the spiritual sanctuary of Peneda, each location tells a story of Portugal’s rich history and culture.
Walk ancient Roman roads, cross stone bridges in the picturesque village of Soajo, and witness the haunting beauty of Vilarinho da Furna’s submerged ruins.
This tour is about connecting with a way of life that has endured in these remote villages for centuries. In places like Lindoso and Ermida, you’ll find a timeless quality, where traditional Portuguese culture thrives, far from the bustle of modern life.
We handle all the logistics, ensuring your journey is smooth and worry-free. From arranging your accommodations in charming local settings to providing detailed itineraries and insider tips, we take care of everything so you can focus on the adventure at hand.
