The Azores archipelago provides a real challenge for nature loving enthusiasts. Walking by extinct volcanoes, lagoons, waterfalls and enjoy the Azores wild, natural beauty.
We took the walking trail of S. Cristovão do Douro. Our daughter loved it and was quite curious about the information the guide was giving. The weather helped as it was mild in March, I advise you to take a camera to photograph the beautiful sceneries that the Douro offers. The walk itself lasted for a couple of hours but we took our time. Do bring a hat if it's sunny! The restaurant where the guide took us was very good, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. I would do this activity again and I will certainly be attentive to new walking tours in Portugal.
Approximately 2-hour trail where you can enjoy the fantastic views over the Douro river valley in the Pinhão area. Those more connected to cameras may need a little more hehe. In this walking tour, I'd also highlight the typical gastronomy of the region with which we were presented at the end of the hike and the visit to one of Sandeman's emblematic farms, Quinta do Seixo.
Many thanks to our guide Daniel, who in an enthusiastic and fun way transmitted us the local culture and provided a fantastic day among friends and family.
