Portugal Tours

Hikes & Delights from the Porto Valley to the Azores

From the wine-making region of the Douro Valley to the Camino Portugués pilgrim route, Portugal is a land of stunning hikes, markets, historic towns, and the world’s best Port wines. Off the mainland, explore Portugal’s lush sub-tropical island of Madeira and the fabulous volcanic landscapes of the Azores. These Portugal trips offer unbelievable cuisine, culture, and experiences.

Everything You Need to Know

From the craggy Serra da Estrela mountains and ancient Camino Portugués pilgrim trail to spectacular Douro Valley wine country, Portugal’s varied landscapes take on a different character each season. In the springtime, expect the mountainous regions to be lush and dotted with wildflowers. In the fall, the fragrant forests of Peneda-Gerês National Park erupt in color and the wine region of Douro Valley is in full swing for the grape harvest. 

While there’s no bad time to go to Portugal, the spring, summer, and fall are the best times for exploration, and particularly for hiking. The quiet winter months are a great time to experience Portugal’s cultural capitals of Lisbon, Porto, and Lamego, which you can discover on relaxing Douro River cruises.
