Ribeira de Pena is located in the Vila Real District, a northern region of Portugal. It is found in a zone of transition between the harsh and mountainous Trás-os-Montes and the verdant Minho. It is crossed by the calm waters of the Tâmega River, and also offers visitors the unmistakable flavour of the region's green wine.

Equally rich is the heritage left by man since remote times, visible at abundant prehistoric sites such as the Stone Age engravings of Lamelas, several dolmens and archaeological monuments, and fortified settlements such as the ruins located at Monte do Cabriz, near the village of Cerva.
