Sistelo is a picturesque village located in the Norte Region of Portugal. Nestled in the heart of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, this small but charming village is often referred to as the "Tibet of Portugal" due to its unique landscape and terraced fields. The village of Sistelo is known for its stunning natural beauty, with lush green hills, cascading waterfalls, and the crystal-clear waters of the Vez River flowing through its center. The most striking feature of Sistelo is its intricate system of terraced fields, which have been carefully carved into the slopes of the mountains over centuries. These terraces, known as "socalcos," are used for agriculture, primarily for the cultivation of corn and grazing of livestock.
