ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS IN PORTUGAL

The history of Portugal and her cultural influences is as rich as her natural landscape is diverse. Once a great empire, colonising large parts of Africa, China, America and Malaysia, it's a facinating place for gentle exploring on an activity holiday. In Portugal, Madeira and the Azores our selection of walking holidays let you discover magnificent Baroque buildings and gilded altar carvings, exotic fruits and Oriental spices, and stunning natural vistas.

Activity holidays in Portugal

On the mainland you dip into the historical wealth and the natural splendour of a country whose identity has been shaped by the Romans, the Moors and by her conquests of other nations and continents. A country split by the majestic Montanhas and the Serra da Estrela, a natural divide between the humid Atlantic North and the dry Mediterranean South.

On Madeira our activity holidays concentrate of the stunning natural beauty and wealth of botanical interest the island has to offer. Our walks take you through magnificent coastal and mountain scenery in an wonderful temperate climate, with exotic flowers and rare birds of prey on view at every step in this beautiful 'floating garden'.

You get to visit the very best of the Azores islands on our guided walking holiday here. From the luxuriant tropical flora and hidden therman pools of Sao Miguel, to the banana terraces and natural laval pools of Sao Jorge, to the verdant craters and sunning lunar landscapes of Faial.
