Very difficult
Departure from Terras de Bouro (Braga District)
Whilst the ascent is straightforward, the return journey is difficult: the return path no longer exists, particularly from the point N 41.74552 O 8.16986 to the finish. It takes over 11 hours to complete the route. Progress is very difficult through the very prickly undergrowth, which causes scratches. Also be careful when following the cairns; there are many of them, but they mark different paths. It’s easy to take the wrong one...
In another region, with a well-maintained path, this walk would have been classified as easy, or even very easy.
On the Rio Caldo in Gerês

Easy
Departure from Terras de Bouro (Braga District)
The starting point is difficult to access by car, especially if you have low ground clearance. Once there, the car park is very small (approx. 20 spaces) but shaded. Launching canoes or paddleboards is very easy.
It is a short, peaceful trip with plenty of opportunities to pull up and take a break.
Pincães Waterfall from Fafião

Easy
Departure from Montalegre (Vila Real District)
It is possible to extend the circular loop, but be careful in hot weather. The beauty of the waterfall (and its coolness) may well make it worth stopping for a break. The fountain is absolutely magnificent and it is very pleasant to have a dip there.

Moderate
Departure from Montalegre (Vila Real District)
Hike to the seven lakes of Gerês. Stunning lakes where you can go for a swim. Don’t forget your swimwear!
Follow the path marked by the yellow and red signposts (two horizontal lines).
There are two possible routes: turn right after the chapel for an easier route, and left for a more ‘adventurous’ one (a narrower and steeper path).
