Do you do tours on rainy days?
Yes! We know enough people in Gerês that will open their own doors for us and let us go inside of their houses to keep ourselves cosy. However, we try our best to not book your tour on rainy days. We choose trails where the rain impact is milder.
What is the minimum and maximum age that can go on a tour?
From 0 to 80!
Are your tours available in French, Italian, or Portuguese?
The official language of our tours is English. If you want a specific language, you will have to ask us for a private tour.
What does my lunch include?
All the traditional foods from North Portugal. Roasted chorizo, olives, caldo verde, Vinho Verde, codfish dumplings (a batter, deep fried, of potato, onion, parsley, egg and of course codfish), homemade corn bread, punheta de bacalhau (salted codfish with olive oil and onions – the Portuguese sushi), mountain cheese, pica-pau (pork diced together with linguiça – a very thin and spicy sausage – dipped in a spicy tomato sauce), melon with ham, pastel de nata, coffee and tea, and local drinks. The lunch is in a panoramic restaurant from Gerês, where only the locals and Portuguese tourists go… normally to eat what you will eat.
I’m a vegetarian… Do you have special meals for me?
Yes. We have a wide variety of dishes that can satisfy your needs (even if you are vegetarian/vegan/lactose intolerant/etc.).
What is the best time of year for hiking in Peneda-Gerês National Park?
It depends on the aim of your visit. If you would like to swim in the lagoons, it’s only possible from March to October. On the other hand, if your idea is to go walking, discover new places (and people), and relax, you can also do it in winter season. So you can go whenever you want, knowing that Peneda-Gerês is always a great choice!
