Inside Portugal's only national park and its wild, ancient inhabitants
In short: Explore the rugged landscapes of Peneda-Gerês, a 700 square kilometer sanctuary in northern Portugal. This documentary captures the contrast between rocky plateaus and lush valleys, featuring Europe's only wild horse breed.
The film traverses the extreme north of Portugal to showcase the Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês. The landscape is defined by barren, rocky ridges and deep valleys filled with rivers, lakes, and dense forests of Pyrenean and pedunculate oaks.
A central focus is the Garrano pony, an ancient breed that remains the only one of its kind still living in the wild in Europe. The documentary provides a window into these pristine ecosystems and the rare species that call them home.
