Brimming with both history and natural wonder, Northern Portugal is home to Porto, the city that gave the country its name, as well as the important ancient town of Braga. Also here is Peneda-Gerês, Portugal’s only national park, a gorgeous wilderness area of mountains, gorges, water features and wildlife. Many picturesque villages and manor houses dot the countryside. Two areas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alto Douro Wine Region, and the Paleolithic rock art in the Côa Valley.

Expect narrow and (sometimes) abrupt roads; don´t go on a hurry, km will last longer than you think, and make sure to have enough gas on the tank. Beautiful roads, and from the top, you have an amazing view, specially if the weather is clear. Try to visit some traditional villages - I would suggest Covas do Monte - it is like going back a century - very authentic and without tourists.

Natural waterfalls of an indescribable beauty where you can swim. Secret paradise preserved in pure and wild state. The perfect place to relax and be in touch with nature. Remote access only by foot.
