AZORES WALKING TOURS

4 of us went to Portugal for some active vacations and besides cycling we also booked a self-guided tour in the Southwest Coast with Live Love Hike. They met us at our hotel in Lisbon and transferred us to the coast to start our hike. We stayed in a great mix of rural hotels, all very comfortable, and hiked along this unexplored coastal area of Portugal. Some great scenic hikes along the rugged coast and clifftops of Arrifana, Carrapateira and Sagres with the ocean as backdrop. Beautiful beaches and coves, some of them almost deserted. Brilliant food, especially the fresh fish and seafood. Finishing the hike in a place like Sagres, right in the southern tip of the country is fantastic.

We had a wonderful week walking the Duoro Valley. It was wonderfully organized and Sergio was fantastic. He was able to navigate the situation with the train strikes, and provided us with alternate means of transportation always one step ahead of where the problem was. Quite impressive. The hikes were challenging but doable and highly rewarding . The views were incredible. The hotels for the premium tour were first class all the way. I would highly recommend this trip and thanks again to Sergio and his team😀
