Lunch is not included, and the drive in takes over an hour. 4.99 from 70 reviews at €120 per person.

## Overview

Enjoy this tour, which will enable you to explore the nature and culture of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, in a single day. You will be exploring the villages, mountains, rivers and waterfalls of this park, which has a kind of scenery which is hard to find anywhere else. 

Beside the landscapes, fauna and flora and the numerous wild rivers which form some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Portugal, it has a rich culture, history and heritage.
