Santuario de Nossa Senhora da Peneda

Magnificent place. The road there is steep and well hidden, sat nav got confused, but if you follow the signs, you'll be alright. The Santuario is impressive. From the side of the charge is a narrow path where you can hike to the above mountain lake passing big waterfalls.

A great place to witness as the mountains surround this beautiful place of worship. Although our visit was short and sweet, it is sad to see the sight of the hotel nearby which looked abandoned during the time we spent there.

It's a spooky place! But a great view and lots of history. You'll see the power of the church. They always have the biggest and best situated buildings in nearly every european town. That's hard to see but it's worth a break if you're in the park. :)

A fantastic place to visit! Very peaceful and interesting. We thought it was a shame that when we visited we were the only ones there. Because this place is well worth a visit. Simply unbelievable that not more folks visit here. But perhaps it is simply because it is off the beaten track (i.e. not near the likes of Geres etc.). I can highly recommend it!

Very Nice & calm place✨

Wonderful place with hiking trail going up to a lake in mountains. Worth a visit!

Holy Portuguese Jesus! This place is amazing, and also a little bit weird. Make sure you take a peek in each of the little hut things. Bonus, after climbing all those stairs there’s a river off to the side you can dip in. Just don’t plan on doing the hike above the chapel- it’s closed for landslides. Or if you don’t speak the language and do the hike anyways because you don’t know what all the danger signs are saying…walk carefully.

In the heart of Peneda Gerês National Park, surrounded by a magnificent natural environment, there is a monumental sanctuary that is well worth your visit! This place is beautiful and perfect for an one day trip.
