We provide authentic accommodations, luggage transfers, and some meals, along with comprehensive Route Notes, detailed maps, and 24-hour emergency assistance. This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. Overview The northern reaches of Portugal exude a rural beauty unlike anywhere else. At once rugged and peaceful and wholly magnificent, the steep granite mountains of Minho and gentle hills of the Douro Valley each embody a distinct Portuguese spirit and exploring them by foot is a true privilege. You’ll begin in the spellbinding province of Minho, a rich patchwork of soaring slopes and emerald- green terraces criss-crossed and climbed by ancient, rugged shepherd trails that link tiny secluded stone villages. This is the most contemplative, and immersive, way to experience rural Portugal: your solitude is part of the adventure as Garrano ponies, Barossã cattle and a shepherd tending his flock may be your only companions. Pathways then point to the Douro River Valley, where vintners have been producing Portugal’s prized port wines for generations.
