About

Peneda-Gerês National Park

This walking tour takes place through the most protected area of the National Park. We are talking about Mata de Albergaria.Classified as a total protection zone, this forest is a true sanctuary of nature, with a rich variety of plants and animals. The Albergaria forest is an intense contact with nature. Greenery surrounds us and as we walk the forest takes care of us, it is impossible not to notice the centuries-old oaks, the slopes dense with vegetation and the treetops that shelter us from the sun. The silence is only interrupted by the sound of animals and at every corner there is a fountain, a lagoon or a lost waterfall.At the end of this walk you will have the opportunity to have a picnic with views of the mountain and to finish the tour with a visit to the Campo do Gerês museums.
