Discovering the Hidden Gems of Peneda-Gerês
As I entered Peneda-Gerês National Park, I was struck by its rugged beauty. Towering mountains, deep valleys and pristine forests filled my sensors. The park is home to rare plant species such as the Portuguese oak and diverse animal species including the Iberian wolf and otters. As I travelled deeper into the park, I found hidden waterfalls and crystal clear lakes that are great for swimming in summer. The park also boasts some of the best hiking trails in Portugal with mountain vistas that will take your breath away. I found that this hidden gem was worth the visit.
