Lima Escape Camping & Glamping

Lima Escape Camping & Glamping occupies the campsite of Entre Ambos-os-Rios, in the municipality of Ponte da Barca, in the heart of Peneda-Gerês National Park with the Serra Amarela as a backdrop. Alongside traditional pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, it offers tipi and bell tents set on wooden decks overlooking the Lima river, wooden bungalows raised to tree level and a pair of colourful, rustic bungalows inspired by the Minho region.

The company has run the site since 2013 with the stated aim of keeping it as natural as possible, and it has held the international Green Key award since June 2023. Its treehouse-style bungalows were created in 2014 from reused shipping containers, and the outdoor pool installed in 2022 followed the same idea. All 66 lamp posts use LED bulbs, motion sensors control lighting in shared areas, taps and cisterns are fitted with water-saving devices, waste is separated in every accommodation unit and there is a charging point for electric cars.

Guests come for the rivers, lagoons and waterfalls of the national park. Kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and electric boats can be hired through local operators, and there are signposted walking trails, canyoning and bicycle hire. The Lima Bar serves breakfast, snacks and lunch on a shaded terrace open to visitors as well as guests. Entre Ambos-os-Rios is reached by road from Ponte da Barca, following the Lima valley upstream.
