We’ll drive up and down the hills of Gerês and show you what few people ever get to enjoy. A Keen Tours day trip to Gerês offers a complete experience unfolding the History, Culture and Nature on the Peneda-Gerês National Park.
Explore the mountains in a small group setting, hiking through centuries old paths that cut through luxuriant woods and reaching the best viewpoints for fantastic views.
Experience a forest included in the European Network of Biogenetic Reserves and a bit of the 318 km (198 miles) of the geira – the roman highway Via XVIII from Braga (former Bracara Augusta) to Astorga (Asturica Augusta), in Spain.
Depending on the weather, bathe in the fresh, clear waters of the mountain waterfalls or soak in the hot springs used since (at least) the romans, admire the newborn baby horses in the woods or enjoy the magnificent colour palette of the leaves falling – whatever the season, the tour is bound to amaze you.

Foi um dia maravilhoso, estou a escrever a opinião de todos os elementos do grupo. Visita muito personalizada, adaptada às características do grupo. Excelente guia, o Pedro. Informação científica sobre as espécies florestais existentes no Gerês, arqueologia e cultura dominante na área geográfica. Revelou conhecimento profundo sobre o espaço físico.
Almoço e merendinha muito agradáveis. Adorámos a lojinha de produtos genuínos. Atendimento simples e simpático! Adorámos e recomendamos!

The Peneda Geres area is beautiful. The waterfalls were a plenty. Pedro tailored the tour to our requests. He was full of facts about the flora & fauna. The lunch was absolutely delicious. We even stopped to see wild horses up close!
