What to expect
Peneda-Geres National Park
Leaving the "city" and entering the magnificent rural landscapes of the "Green Region", we will take you along mountain paths up to 1000 meters high, discovering typical villages lost in time where wild cattle roam freely, until viewpoints that contemplate the raw nature of the Serra Amarela.
Museu de Vilarinho das Furnas
Descending from the mountain, we enter the Campo do Gerês valley, where we will visit the Museological Nucleus, specifically the Ethnographic Museum of Vilarinho das Furnas where the memory and spoils of the agro-silvo-pastoral community life and organization of a typical Gerês village are preserved. This visit is essential to understand the strength, resilience and ancient way of life that echoes in the "Búrios" people, who have always been the guardians of this natural frontier and place of worship.
