The Peneda-Gerês National Park is the only one classified as a national park in Portugal and is located in the far northwest, 100 kilometers from Porto.
The park is considered a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. It has one of the most exuberant natural landscapes in the country, standing out for its fauna and flora diversity.
The best time to visit Peneda-Gerês Park is during the summer. You can enjoy the beautiful waterfalls with translucent waters such as the Portela do Homem Gerês.
Besides the natural attractions, the park is also home to two important pilgrimage centers: the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Peneda and São Bento da Porta Aberta.
In historical tourism, a tip is to visit the castles of Castro Laboreiro and Lindoso, monuments from the time of the Roman occupation.
