Things to see and do Parc National De Peneda-Gerês

The road to Gerês Campo offers beautiful scenery on the Caniçada dam. The Junceda lookout is also a fabulous view of the Gerês Valley.

Another small village typical of the area, surrounded by fields on the terrace, with also some espigueiros.

This village can serve as a base for hiking and excursions in the park. A small lake will refresh you in the summer.

A charming small town that presents itself as the miniature version of Ponte de Lima. Its name, da Barca, comes from the ferry used to transport the passengers (usually pilgrims who visit Santiago de Compostela) on the other side of the Rio. Beautiful th century bridge. On Wednesday, the city anime with the market. A good drop-down point to discover Peneda-Gerês Park.

He is known for his production of oranges.

The brochures for sale or free of charge include a GR (Grande Rota) and PR trails (Selvagem Rota).

A detailed map of the park is required. It indicates roads and marked roads, but not all trails.

Very nice excursion that allows you to pass through Confluent de Caniçada (N 308) and then by Gerês (very tourist resort), by Geira (remains of the Roman track that connected Braga to Astorga). Then you can go to the dam of Vilarinho das Furnas and continue to Portela do Homem a pass that borders with Spain.
