Overview

We’ll drive up and down the hills of Gerês and show you what few people ever get to enjoy. A Keen Tours day trip to Gerês offers a complete experience unfolding the History, Culture and Nature on the Peneda-Gerês National Park. Explore the mountains in a small group setting, hiking through centuries old paths that cut through luxuriant woods and reaching the best viewpoints for fantastic views. Experience a forest included in the European Network of Biogenetic Reserves and a bit of the 318 km (198 miles) of the geira – the roman highway Via XVIII from Braga (former Bracara Augusta) to Astorga (Asturica Augusta), in Spain. Depending on the weather, bathe in the fresh, clear waters of the mountain waterfalls or soak in the hot springs used since (at least) the romans, admire the newborn baby horses in the woods or enjoy the magnificent colour palette of the leaves falling – whatever the season, the tour is bound to amaze you.

The Peneda-Gerês National Park (PNPG), with its 700 km2, goes from the Mourela plateau to the one in Castro Laboreiro, and includes the mountain ranges of Peneda, Soajo, Amarela and Gerês. The only Portuguese National Park presents na impressive bothanical diversity - woods, forests, riparian vegetation, peatlands and moist woods – with special relevance to the several rare and endemic species. The PNPG is home to some of the most important oak forests in Portugal and interesting semi-natural habitats that shelter a diversity of animals with differentiated constitution: endemic (gold-striped salamander), endangered (iberian wolf), limited distribution species (whinchat)... In the agricultural mosaic the prairies and lime meadows stand out. Rich historical and cultural heritage (megalithic necropolis, traces of Romanization, castles, granaries, ovens, mills, dams, terraces, etc.) to which must be added the curious implantation of mountain villages and the presence of well-preserved traditional architecture sets.

Delightful tour

Published on Sep, 2022

The Peneda Geres area is beautiful. The waterfalls were a plenty. Pedro tailored the tour to our requests. He was full of facts about the flora & fauna. The lunch was absolutely delicious. We even stopped to see wild horses up close!

Gerês Tour - Couple travelling with 3 year old toddler

Published on Aug, 2022

We spent a most wonderful day in the company of Pedro and Rita visiting the Geres National Park and its beautiful rivers, lakes and mountains. We were picked up perfectly on time at our hotel in Braga with a spacious SUV equipped with a child seat and were greeted with a snack bag for every participant, such a nice touch. Pedro brilliantly tailored our day according to our interests (for us, wild swimming and gentle hikes - he succeeded in finding places that would make us adults go wow whilst being accessible and enjoyable also by a toddler, not an easy task!). We had lunch in a charming and delicious local restaurant. Pedro and Rita are passionate (about their job, the region and sustainable traveling), and eager to share their infinite knowledge. To top it all off, Pedro is great with kids: our daughter (normally a very difficult customer) was just delighted. When booking, I thought the price point was steep. When the day was over, I felt I had underpaid. Our expectations were met and exceeded. We would not hesitate to recommend this activity.
