About this experience
From untouched nature, to waterfalls that feed beautiful lagoons, we will show you the most impressive landscapes in the region, and certainly the most immersive experience in the northen Portugal! About 1 hour after you're picked up in Porto, we will start to discover small wonders on easy hikes, admire "secret" waterfalls, bathe in crystalline waters, enter (almost) abandoned villages and even get to know the territory of the Iberian Wolf. Throughout this miscellaneous program, you will certainly come across the most popular inhabitants: the wild horse and the mountain goats.
Come breathe this true paradise!

Itinerary and highlights
The exuberant vegetation covering the mountains, exhibit every shade of green, include a holly bush wood - unique at a national level - and endemic species such as the Gerês lily, whose blue-violet colours grace the fields. The rugged mountainous terrain is cut across by rapidly flowing rivers and streams, including many waterfalls, which finally slow down their pace in dams such as those of Caniçada, Vilarinho das Furnas or Portela do Homem. The landscapes are quite stunning.
