Carlos Silva

Carlos also is very passionate with nature.
We like to think that it's mandatory for this kind of job.

He has been a tour guide and has been working with Samuel since 2018. He is always curious about anything that moves or grows, that's why he is a biologist. Although he lives away from Gerês, but not far, he doesn't miss a chance to answer the mountains' call. He likes to take his time in the mountains and he knows he might find something new or very interesting each time he goes hiking. Gerês is full of surprises, even for those who knows it well. He was born in France so if you also speak French, he won't have any difficulties understanding you. Please, ask him anything about gerês, he will be delighted to answer.
