Overview
Parta à descoberta das lagoas de Xertelo, um dos segredos mais bem guardados do Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês, com destaque para as lagoas de Xertelo. Esta aldeia serrana, no coração do único parque nacional de Portugal, é conhecida pelos Poços Verdes do Sobroso, lagoas de águas turquesa alimentadas por ribeiros cristalinos e pequenas cascatas, encantando amantes da natureza e da fotografia.
O trilho até às lagoas, que começa em Xertelo, segue por um caminho de montanha panorâmico, passando por um antigo Fojo do Lobo e uma levada tradicional, testemunhos vivos da história e engenho locais.
À chegada, o som da água e a cor vibrante das lagoas transportam-no para um cenário de pura serenidade. Nos dias quentes, mergulhar nas águas límpidas é irresistível.
Após o banho, desfrute de um piquenique rodeado pela tranquilidade da natureza. Esta visita é perfeita para quem procura desligar-se do ritmo urbano e viver a beleza selvagem do Gerês.
