1. Peneda-Gerês National Park is the only national park in Portugal, located in the northwest part of the country, close to the Spanish border. It is known for its stunning natural beauty, including mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and lush forests. The park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a wide range of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching, and swimming in natural pools.
2. The park is open year-round, and there is no entrance fee. The visitor center is open from 9am to 5pm daily. Unfortunately, I do not have a specific phone number for the park, but you can find more information on their official website or contact the local tourist office in the nearby town of Gerês.
3. To reach Peneda-Gerês National Park, you can either drive or take public transportation. The nearest major city is Braga, and from there, you can take a bus or rent a car to reach the park. Once inside the park, there are various hiking trails and scenic viewpoints to explore. Don’t forget to pack plenty of water and snacks, as facilities within the park can be limited.
