Hidden Gems Unveiled in Porto

Nature Retreat in Geres

This will be an amazing trip to this country called Portugal that will offer us a wonderful ,captivating blend of history, culture and natural landscapes no doubt Portugal has everything to show. Porto, the most famous city and recognized for wine on the banks of the Douro River, is a perfect destination to enjoy a getaway to discover the hidden gems that I know of this city, has places with a lot of charm. Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, one of the essential tips is to spend some time discovering all the jewels of its historic center such as the Cathedral or the bookshop Lello and Irmão, stroll along the Ribeira and the Douro on board a boat, reach Vila Nova de Gaia to taste its wines and enjoy its most typical dishes such as Francesinha or a bacalhau to Brás. In addition to this, you can enjoy a train trip to some of the treasures of Portugal such as the cities like Aveiro and Braga , I know that you will love. Discovering these charming cities with a very quiet atmosphere, excellent gastronomy, want to know Portugal eating like a local? This trip is for you. In addition to these two cities we will finally go to a hidden gem that few talk about and called GERES, if you are a nature lover and you like to walk, explore, in this place we will go to know the best spots of this beautiful village.

Greetings, to all the most incredible travelers! I am Catherin, your next guide to lead this great journey called "life". I am an explorer at heart and I love being in different scenarios where I can appreciate nature, I am super happy and delighted to be able to undertake this journey with all of you. Let me introduce myself and share my expectations for this unique journey to where wine abounds. As your leader, I am willing and very committed to ensuring that this experience is not just a vacation, but a special opportunity for personal growth, cultural enrichment and a deeper connection with nature,to return to your home charged (a) with natural energy. My experience as an autonomous traveler has allowed me to discover incredible places, as well as to forge certain skills that only travel allows you to develop.

Accommodation during this trip will be in hostel, maybe the only time where there could be a private room option could be in geres but first I must know how many people want the private option. But first it will be focused to perform in Hostels because it is where we will test our communication skills during the trip Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

Porto

Day 1-4

Here is the place where you will arrive!! Book your flight to the airport of the city of Porto called Aeroporto Francisco sa carneiro a and get your feet ready to start this adventure :) We will spend two nights here in a hostel to go out and get to know each other better! You can easily take an uber from the airport or there is also the metro option which is a bit cheaper!

Aveiro

Day 4

We will take a train from the port city to aveiro,we will be throughout the day touring the city as it is small I think one day would be well,this city is known as the Portuguese Venice for its canals Aveiro has a very nice spot and it is costa nova where you will find some colorful houses full of charm

Braga

Day 4-5

This city in the North of Portugal concentrates an immense architectural and archaeological heritage that is worth discovering in one or two days. In addition to visiting the main baroque churches of the city, there are more than 40, it is worth getting lost in the cobbled streets full of flowers of the historic center and enjoying the great student atmosphere that is present in many squares and locals.

Gerês

Day 5-9

welcome to visit Gerês! The Peneda-Gerês National Park (PNPG) is one of the most beautiful places in Portugal and a true paradise for nature lovers. Visiting Gerês is, without a doubt, one of the best nature breaks you can do in Portugal. I think one of the most fascinating places in Portugal East, where there is quite a diversity and feel a different vibe. this place is to connect with nature so get ready!
