Peneda-Gerês Park | Salamonde – Cabril – Paradela

Late winter in Peneda-Gerês — between Salamonde and Paradela dams, nature reveals its raw, untamed beauty in northern Portugal’s only national park.

This journey through Peneda-Gerês National Park captures the breathtaking landscape between Salamonde and Paradela dams, filmed at the quiet end of winter.

As the season shifts, the valleys are still wrapped in mist, streams run strong, and the hills carry the raw textures of wind, water, and time.

This stretch of Gerês reveals some of the park’s most untouched and dramatic scenery — a place where nature feels vast and deeply alive.

Whether you’re drawn to the rugged terrain, remote mountain roads, or the silence only broken by water and wind, this is a side of Portugal few get to truly know.

A hidden gem for hikers, photographers, and anyone who craves stillness with a wild edge.
