Vlog number 6 of our Portuguese Adventure!
We finally spent some time in Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês (National Park), it was absolutely amazing… Words cannot describe how beautiful is this place.
We started our first day going to a viewpoint (Miradouro) that is called Pedra Bela to see the beautiful landscape. There, we had breakfast, sitting at a big rock while enjoying the views and nature…
After breakfast, we took the car and went to see our first waterfall (cascata): Cascata do Arado, we saw that we could get closer to the beautiful waterfall, so we went rock by rock (always safely) ‘till we could sit and enjoy the sun, fly the drone and breath fresh air.
Our next stop was another waterfall named Cascata de Fecha de Barjas or Cascata Tahiti, which was simply great.
We ended our first day in Gerês, going to a place where Maria used to go with her friends just to enjoy the sunset and the views, Bom Jesus das Mós. There, we had Pão de Ló, a traditional Portuguese pastry made of eggs, flour, sugar, homemade by Maria’s mother, delicious, very spongey. It’s been Du’s favorite ;)
On our second day, we went to Brufe, Maria’s mom told us to go and see if we could find some wild animals, especially horses and yes, we found them! The landscapes again were breathtaking! After Brufe, a very calm and beautiful town, we went to Barragem de Vilarinho das Furnas, a 94 m. high dam, very impressive. During the summer, you can go, swim and play near the dam. It’s where the water is the warmest in Gerês!
Next, we went to Mata da Albergaria, one of the most important forests in the whole National Park, to see the beautiful autumn leaves… The colorfulness was just brilliant, red, yellow, and green leaves…all together were beautiful. After that, we went to another waterfall, Cascata Leonte. We hiked a little bit, then we changed our path and arrived at Cascata Leonte, full of water, more than when Maria got there last year. Pretty spectacular! After that, we went home to have lunch and grab some chestnuts for the family!

Hope that you guys enjoyed our weekend in Gerês,

We’re Maria and Du, we met shooting a commercial in Lisbon (Maria’s city) in 2018.
We started a distance relationship flying twice a month (Lisbon - Barcelona) and after a few months of that, we finally moved in together in Barcelona, where Du was born and raised (his parents are from South Korea).
We started our Youtube channel because we love traveling, we always enjoy our trips and we wanted to keep our memories through nice videos, now we can share them with you.
Our final goal would be traveling full-time and someday, helping people around the world doing something nice.
