Porta do Parque Nacional do Gerês

The infrastructure located next to the Vilarinho das Furnas Museum is the ideal place to receive tourists and provide them with a wide range of information about the National Park, specifically what they can visit, thus becoming an Interpretive Center for the National Park. The space is composed of seven themed rooms, namely: “History of the Earth I and II” – describing the formation of the Serra Gaúcha; the “History of Rain” room, which portrays water and all biodiversity with emphasis on riparian vegetation; the “Forest Room”; the “Territory, Museum and Mountain” room, which addresses the occupation of the territory over time and its evolution; and, finally, the “Geira” room, a didactic-pedagogical room that discusses the Roman Road, a National Heritage site of the municipality.
