Portugal: The Douro & Mountain Villages

From sunlit river valleys to rugged peaks, experience the landscapes, flavors and enduring culture that reveal Portugal beyond the well-traveled path. Expedition Leader Pedro Soromenho previews our new Terra & Tu Cultural Journey, where we wander terraced vineyards in the Douro Valley, sample fine ports with winemaker hosts. In the high country of Serra da Estrela, meet artisanal cheesemakers and wool producers, and explore historic villages and mountain communities.

Culture and nature have always been intertwined, shaping each other across generations. We’re thrilled to launch Terra & Tu Cultural Journeys—travel experiences that celebrate the connection between people and place. Join Nat Hab Founder Ben Bressler and Cultural Journeys Director Finlay Bressler as they introduce this exciting new collection, beginning with Tuscany: La Dolce Vita. Discover how these small-group adventures go beyond the typical tourist trail, weaving travelers into the fabric of local traditions, cuisine and communities while supporting cultural heritage.
