What to expect

  1. Brufe

    The village of Brufe boasts a rich rural heritage that reflects the deep-rooted nature of its unique cultures and traditions, serving as an archaic symbol of the communities that originated in mountainous regions.
  2. Campo de Geres
    30m
    Take this opportunity to relax for a bit or, if you’d like, visit the local museums. We’ll also take a short walk through the village.
  3. Peneda-Geres National Park
    1h
    The journey from Campo do Gerês continues to Vila do Gerês, where the scenic road connecting these two towns will offer you breathtaking views and moments. We’ll make a few stops at viewpoints so you can take your time and enjoy the beauty of this national park.
