Walking Portugal's coastline delights and inspires with rocky cliffs and sweeping views of the Atlantic. Continuing inland, you'll discover medieval villages and picturesque countryside towns that are best appreciated on foot. Walk alongside fig and olive trees and see castles in the distance, sparking the imagination of royal counts and historic kingdoms. Follow trails next to vineyards in the Douro Valley, stopping to savour the wine and the views while treating yourself to delicious regional food before capping off the adventure in Porto. Discover Portugal through all of your senses and it will leave you longing for more.


Day 1: Lisbon: Welcome to Portugal
Speckled with charming and picturesque villages, Portugal will enchant you as you move from coast to mountains. Dream of village-to-village hikes and delicious food as you head off into the countryside toward the Spanish border. Welcome to Lisbon, and to Portugal, where we invite you to savour the sights, sounds and flavours of the adventure before you.

Day 2: Lisbon: Cabo da Roca Hike
Sand coloured cliffs dive to meet the vibrant contrast of the mediterranean blue with statue-like stone stacks that jut out of the sea, while waves crash along their sides. These are your views along your breathtaking morning hike. But the spectacle doesn't end there. We head west of the castle capital to Sintra, where you can smell the flowers and explore the amazing garden of Palacio Monserrate. After a beautiful day, the night is yours to explore the city of Lisbon.

Day 3: Medelim: Portugal's Countryside
Bid farewell to Lisbon as you head into the picturesque Portuguese countryside. Get your bearings in a small town before setting off on a pleasant hike that will take you on a winding trail near the Spanish border.

Day 4: Medelim: Historic Village Hikes
Travel back in time over 1000 years to an era of castles, legends and traditions. Deemed one of Portugal's 12 Historic Villages, Idanha-a-Velha will connect you to a time of conquerors as you traverse the paths through historic stone walls and castles. On the hike to Monsanto, hear the tales of this region's fascinating history under fig and olive trees. Just up the road, the natural pools and a small waterfall at Penha Garcia offer the perfect place to conclude today's adventure.

Day 5: Manteigas: Hike to a Castle in the Sky
The enchanting Sortelha Castle stands on a crag at an altitude of 760 meters. It looms over the most mysterious of all the historic villages, where you will soon lose yourself in a maze of alleys and lanes as you hike up to the lofty castle. It is a place where time seems to have stood still. The wind whistles round the corners and hardly anyone passes by. This sentiment lingers when you arrive to the town of Belmonte after your hike in Sortelha.

Day 6: Amarante: Explore Serra da Estrela National Park
In Portugal's biggest National Park, rolling hills are interrupted by giant slabs of granite that protrude out of the ground. Pause to admire the beauty of this stark environment at the Chapel of Santiago before the hike leads you to the beautiful Vale do Rossim Lagoon.

Day 7: Amarante: Douro Valley Walk Along the Vineyards
A tapestry of vineyards unfolds as you traverse Douro wine country, Portugal's most esteemed wine region. With the perfect blend of nature and culture, crossing this picturesque countryside proves worthy of more than just wine tasting as you hike along a valley trail along the river. Soak in the incredible views as you sample some of the specialties of the land.

Day 8: Amarante: Hike to Casal de Loivos
Mesmerizing mazes of vineyards scale the sides of the Pinhão hills. You will weave through historic village streets, beautiful buildings and up through paths draped with green grape vines. This hike allows for an endless panoramic riverscape and gorgeous views of the Douro River.

Day 9: Porto: Your OMG Day
Porto is yours to discover today with a choice of two activities. Explore the best of Portugal's second largest city on an e-bike tour through picturesque neighborhoods, along the coast to where the river meets the sea. Or choose to climb aboard a river cruise followed by a port wine tasting in the historic Vila de Nova Gaia area of the city.

Day 10: Porto
Today your adventure comes to an end and you can depart at any time.
