How to choose
Three ways to walk with us
Our walks follow Portugal's great coastal and inland paths. Pick the way of travelling that suits you, then choose a route below.
Self-guided
You walk at your own pace. We arrange the hotels, move your luggage each day, and send route notes, GPS tracks and a number you can call any time.
Best for couples and independent walkers
Guided
A Portuguese guide walks the whole route with your group. Fixed departures, small numbers, everything arranged before you arrive.
Best for groups and first-time visitors
Tailor-made
Tell us where, when and how far you would like to walk. We plan a private route around your group, on any of these trails.

The trails
The paths these walks are built on
A little context before you choose. Three landscapes, each with its own character.
Rota Vicentina & Fishermen's Trail
Over 750 km of marked paths along the Alentejo and Vicentine coast. The Fishermen's Trail (226.5 km) runs right along the cliff tops; the Historical Way a little inland.
Via Algarviana
A 300 km inland route across 14 sectors, from Alcoutim on the Guadiana river to Cape St. Vincent, through cork oak, almond groves and quiet white villages.
Algarve & Alentejo day walks
Shorter signature routes, like the cliffs from Arrifana to Carrapateira, for a taste of the coast in a single day.

On a self-guided walk you set off on your own each day, with detailed route notes, GPS tracks and a number you can call any time. We book your hotels and move your luggage ahead. On a guided walk, a Portuguese guide walks with the group the whole way. Both follow the same trails.
