Adventure to Peneda-Geres and the “wolf village”
19 April 2026 Porto, Portugal - We joined a small-group (6 pax) tour organised by OPORTO ADVENTURE TOURS to Peneda-Gerês National Park from Porto, and it was the highlight of our amazing travel at Porto.
Our guide, Miguel, was excellent—friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and very engaging. He gave clear explanations about the park, local traditions, and history, while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable throughout the day.
Special mention to our driver, Isidro. He was extremely skilled, confidently handling the rugged terrain in a vintage 4x4 Land Rover 110. The bumpy off-road driving added to the adventure, and we really appreciated the smooth and safe long journey from Porto to Peneda-Geres and back.
The itinerary was well thought and planned out from the walk through beautiful forest trails, planting an oak tree, visited a traditional olive oil mill, and explored a fascinating “wolf village” (Fafiao) where we learned about the “Fojo do Lobo”, a very well-preserved ancestral trap used for luring and killing Iberian wolves to protect the villagers livestock.
The unforgettable would be the swimming at waterfall and the hidden waterfall—the water was very cold, but super refreshing and a lot of fun. It felt like a secret spot away from the crowds.
Lunch in a local village was also excellent—simple, authentic, and delicious.
Overall, this tour offers a perfect mix of nature, culture, and adventure. With a small group, a great guide and a highly skilled driver, the whole experience felt personal and well-paced. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto and looking to explore the real beauty of Peneda-Gerês. Ciao.
