The History of Gerês National Park
Gerês National Park is a prime destination for nature lovers and hikers. Located in northern Portugal, Gerês National Park was formed over 700 million years ago, when geological movements created the mountains and valleys that characterise the park’s landscape. Over the centuries, the natural forces of erosion have shaped the rivers, waterfalls and lakes for which the park is famous today.
Over the years, Gerês National Park has remained a rural and isolated area, little visited by tourists. However, in the 1900s, the area began to attract the attention of scientists and nature lovers, who discovered the rich biodiversity of the park.
As a protected national park, Gerês National Park is subject to strict conservation and management rules. The park is managed by the Institute for Nature and Forest Conservation, which works closely with local communities to preserve the ecological and cultural wealth of the area.
