Each program is designed to showcase Portugal’s natural beauty, cultural authenticity, and sustainable travel values.
Before You Go
Each itinerary includes a difficulty level ranging from easy to challenging. If you’re unsure, we’ll gladly help you choose a route that matches your experience, walking pace, and preferences.
