Location: Portugal
Next to France, Italy or Spain, Portugal is one of Europe's lesser visited destinations yet it holds tremendous value for the discerning traveler. A historical powerhouse for global navigational dominance, Portugal contains some of the richest architecture from this period including a vast array of geographical treasures and of course a fantastic gastronomy and some pretty tasty wines too – especially the Port! For the hiker, Portugal may not exceed 8000 feet but it offers spectacular coastal landscapes and many forested hill ranges. Bemvenido! We welcome you on this exploratory hiking tour of central Portugal's highlights.

The Azores archipelago consists of 9 islands, the region is a mid-Atlantic treasure that escapes tourism of grand proportions. It is truly a land of contrasts and offers a feast of delights for the active traveler – primarily a marriage between a walking discovery over unique and somewhat unreal landscapes and a journey back in time. We'll visit Sao Miguel, Pico and Faial Islands, offering guide-led hikes and cultural highlights throughout – including wine tasting opportunities and special focus on authentic local dishes! By undertaking this tour, you are creating opportunities to enhance aspects of rural tourism to the Azores lesser travelled regions. This is still a lesser visited European destination and one that is highly praised for its authenticity.
