Explore Iberian Europe's best-kept secret on this fascinating hiking tour through Portugal's picturesque countryside. Discover a land dotted with medieval castles and hilltop villages as you journey along Roman roads and ancient paths. Experience the old-world charm of Monsanto—where houses are wedged between giant boulders—and Sortelha, with its walled fortress. Head to the rugged Serra da Estrela Natural Park, where great hiking trails abound. Wander the winding streets of Lisbon on a walking tour of its delightful old quarter, and take in the haunting sounds of fado singers.

Highlights:
  • Marvel at stunning views from a mountaintop castle overlooking "the most Portuguese village in Portugal"
  • Enjoy hikes through the Serra da Estrela National Park in the mountainous central massif
  • Take a walking tour of Lisbon, with its Gothic cathedrals, majestic monasteries, and narrow lanes

Important Trip Details:
Walks average about 6 miles per day, with approximately 1200 feet of elevation gain per day on average. The walks go from village to village, taking you on old Roman roads, walking paths, through forests and up some steep rocky slopes. There are some stairs and cobblestones in the villages as well, so be prepared for a variety of terrain. Some trails involve navigating uneven terrain with large stones. Agility and good balance is required.
