Travel tips for Peneda-Gerês National Park

The Peneda-Gerês National Park is one of Portugal's most beautiful natural attractions. The park stretches from the Gerês Mountains in the south to the Peneda Range and the Spanish border in the north. Established in 1971, it covers over 700 km² of rugged, dramatic landscape, with windswept peaks and wooded valleys of oak, pine, and yew. Wolves and golden eagles inhabit this area. The villages of Peneda-Gerês have remained faithful to their traditions.
