It was trully an amzing experience, in a smalll group that makes uou feel like you are not intruding the national park. We trully felt like humble visitors, priviledged to grt a bit of adventure and beautiful landscapes. Discovering the village, its history and way of life was a plus. With Caterina as a such a klowledgeable we felt like the visit had a true added value!

Un mix entre rando, 4x4 et proximité des locaux. Des points de vue et des endroits magnifiques. Les cascades sont à tomber, tout comme la végétation et la vue panoramique en haut du village. Le déjeuner était copieux et excellent ! La fire water locale aide la digestion sans problème !

An all day trip to Geres National Park included short hikes and swimming in a waterfall and river (warmer water!). We also visited a small village and had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant, all of it was wonderful.
