Peneda Geres National Park Private Full Day Tour
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.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
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.
