It is one of the least populated and most authentic corners of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A mountain landscape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The park covers the mountains north and west of Bragan\u00e7a, with altitudes rising above 1,400 metres. Its climate is harsh in winter and its villages, built of granite and slate, preserve the ways of life of the Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes mountains. Wildlife includes wolves, deer and birds of prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see and do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The traditional villages of Rio de Onor, Montesinho and others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walking routes through the hills and along the rivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Views over the mountains and into Spain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Local gastronomy, including chestnuts, honey and smoked meats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The park lies north and west of Bragan\u00e7a, in Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes.
