The Geres nationalpark is an absolutely stunning beautiful place. Nowhere in Portugal I have felt more in unison with the nature. Pedro is a young, fun guide that will tell you a lot about the nationalpark and its history as well as the people that live there today. The first part of the route is easy to handle for everyone. You will reach some natural lagoons in which you can go swimming, an absolute recommendation! After that, Pedro lets the group decide whether to take back the same route or to try a harder path. It's also possible to split up if some of the group want to stay longer at the lagoons. As for the harder route: This one is a bit tricky. Good shoes are recommended, it is sometimes a bit steep and rocky. Good fitness is required. But it's at no time dangerous and Pedro helps out whenever needed. He is also prepared for those who get car sick or for small injuries. The communication with him was quick and uncomplicated. I'd book a tour with him anytime again!

It was a lovely hike and Pedro is an excellent guide with lots of knowledge of the park and the local area. He pointed out key sights and gave us a lot of information about the local people, the water system and the agriculture within the park.

The hike was wonderful and Pedro is a perfect and thoughtful guide! We took an easy hike to the lagoons, where we took a break for lunch and swimming, then made a group decision to take a more difficult route back. Most of the group took it easily, it was manageable even for the kids. I was struggling a bit in the end of the group, but Pedro made sure we made enough breaks to rest. And taking this route was for sure worth it, as the views were even better. I am wondering though if it's better to start off with the steeper route, leaving the lagoons and the easy part for the second half of the day. The whole route was about 10 km, with a break at the lagoons for about 1-1.5 hour (if I remember it correct). P.S. the road to the park is curvy, so if you have motion sickness, I would definitely suggest taking a pill beforehand. I didn't expect the road to be so winding, but luckily for me, our caring guide Pedro offered pills for motion sickness, which helped a lot.

It was an unforgettable national park trip! Pedro was a professional guide who was extremely helpful and patient throughout the journey and cared for everyone's needs. I made it even without proper shoes and strong knees. My husband and I were lucky to have friendly group members, and the scenery and the history were lovely.
