8 day hiking holiday North Portugal
During an hiking holiday you go out on your own, with your partner or family.
It is possible to make a beautiful hike through Northern Portugal in collaboration with local guides that speakEnglish. They know the area like the back of their hand and they will introduce you to this relatively unknown area.
The walking package includes 3 walks of about 15 kilometres under the guidance of local guides. These tours take approximately 5 to 8 hours.
On days when no hike is planned, it is a great opportunity to make a trip to for example Porto or the Douro Valley. Or make a nice bike ride on the Ecopista do Tâmega.
This walking holiday can be booked throughout the year except in July and August.
