Discover a culturally rich country brimming with natural beauty, wildlife, and history. Our hiking trips in Portugal allow you to enjoy the company of friendly locals, the relaxed pace of life, and the mouthwatering cuisine-all of which add to the country’s natural splendor.

Hike the popular route from the charming town of Sintra with its extravagant palaces and 10th century Moorish Castle, to the sandy beaches of Cascais situated on the Lisbon coast. Another one of our favorites is the Camino Portugués to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. For a more rugged coastal hike, Algrave trip is a winner, along with the simply stunning Rota Vicentina, voted one of the most scenic routes in Europe. For those who prefer a more upscale experience, we recommend perusing our In Style Collection, taking you to vineyards, wineries, and 4* and 5* accommodations. And for those who want something completely different, the island of Madeira and the wild Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean call your name!

With so much choice in this delightful country, be sure to reach out to our team for a chat so we can match you with the perfect Portugal hiking vacation for your needs.
