Important Information About This Trip
This special journey offers far more than typical sightseeing and cultural activities. It’s an authentic, in-depth experience in parts of Portugal rarely seen by travelers. By venturing first into the quieter stretches of the upper Douro River, we step away from tourist crowds and into a world where traditional lifestyles flourish. But that's only the beginning. Our route continues deep into the stunning Serra da Estrela mountains, a region untouched by typical tourism, where Terra & Tu is the only tour operator offering overnight stays. Here, you'll share memorable meals with local residents, stroll with shepherds tending their flocks, and truly immerse yourself in Portuguese rural life. This itinerary is thoughtfully curated through our meaningful connections within these communities, ensuring a unique encounter with Portugal's living heritage.
Given ample notice, our team can accommodate most dietary needs and restrictions.
