# Hiking and Swimming in Geres National Park

## Overview

Gerês Nationa Park is situated one and half hour driving from Porto and this is what it will take to be in the heart of the park. 

Because we don't want to annoy you with so much driving, we will stop midway to stretch our legs and have a coffee (not included).

Once in Gerês National Park, we will cross the park to visit the most amazing spots as the astonishing waterfalls and viewpoints from this beautiful park as walking a bit in order to feel in true contact with Nature and breath this fresh air ;)

On our way, we will have time to visit Gerês Village, known for the termal waters for a few snacks (not included) and relax a bit. 

Arrival to Porto will be around 18:30pm
