About

The Peneda-Gerês National Park offers great landscapes to explore, and we are happy to guide you through a variety of routes and roads to reach the best viewpoints and beautiful spots.

From entrenched woody valleys to the broad horizons, from tar to dirt roads, it is possible to find a route that is up to your expectations.

If you brought you're own bikes, our guide will meet you at the starting point of the itinerary. If not, meet us at LOJA do PARQUE, rent an e-MTB, and we'll start from here.

Tell us what your interests are, how much time do you want to spend, what is your fitness level and where your accommodation is and we will suggest the route that best meets your wants. You can choose either a half-day or full-day guided trail.

Explore these mountain paths with comfort and safety - we’ll be with you in every step: you’ll always have at your side a guide with First Aid training and equipped with a First Aid kit, as well as insurance (personal and liability).
