Peneda-Gerês National Park in northern Portugal offers an expansive landscape of rugged granite peaks, forested valleys, and serene streams, all carved over millennia into one of the country’s most dramatic natural preserves. Established in 1971, this park covers nearly 700 square kilometers and remains the only national park in Portugal, making it a revered destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a blend of wilderness and cultural heritage. Keen Tours elevates the adventure here with their full-day bike rentals, ideal for anyone wanting to cover ground with ease while taking in the park’s varied scenery.
Keen Tours provides a range of e-bikes and electric mountain bikes, perfectly suited to handling the park’s diverse terrain, from smooth valley paths to steeper, technical trails.

Keen Tours’ local expertise helps visitors identify the best routes, whether you want a gentle circuit or a full 50-km challenge through forest trails and mountain passes.
