The engine wakes the valley before your wheels do. You meet at a small riverside lot near Arcos de Valdevez, helmets stacked on a picnic table, and the guide runs through the safety video with the calm efficiency of someone who knows every rut and root in the park. Within minutes you slot into the line of ATVs and push off onto trails that drop away from the main road and into a landscape that still answers to older maps: granite ridges, slate gullies and narrow lanes that thread past stone hamlets and weathered espigueiros.
