Even better? We’re offering 10% off our two most popular self-guided winter walking tours — for trips executed between November 1st and February 28th. Just use code WINTERESCAPE10 when you book.

🎁 Excludes travel during Christmas, New Year’s, and Carnival.

Let’s dive into these two unforgettable winter walking experiences.

🥾 1. Walking Tour in the Portuguese Southwest Coast

Follow the Fishermen’s Trail – Rota Vicentina

This is where Portugal’s wild heart beats. The Southwest Coast Walking Tour follows part of legendary Fishermen’s Trail, part of the Rota Vicentina — a dramatic route along rugged cliffs, crashing Atlantic surf, and tiny fishing villages that time forgot.

Why it's perfect in winter:

• Cool, sunny weather ideal for hiking long coastal sections

• Fewer travelers, making for a more immersive and peaceful experience

• Local charm — off-season village life is unhurried and authentic

• Birdlife and wildflowers are abundant this time of year

Highlights:

• Walk cliffside paths above the Atlantic

• Stay in small villages like Aljezur, Arrifana, Carrapateira and Sagres

• Taste fresh seafood and regional wine in quiet, cozy taverns

• Experience one of the most eco-conscious regions in Portugal

This tour is all about slowing down, breathing in the ocean air, and reconnecting with nature.

🌅 2. Walking Tour from East to West Algarve

Discover the Algarve Beyond the Resorts

Forget the beach bars and high summer crowds. This East to West Algarve Walking Tour showcases the region’s quieter, more authentic side — from the whitewashed towns of the east to the wild, cliff-backed beaches of the western coast.

You'll walk through nature reserves, traditional villages, and citrus orchards, following ancient paths and coastal trails across the region.

Why it’s a top winter escape:

• Consistently mild climate — often sunny even in January!

• Diverse landscapes: coastal cliffs, salt pans, river valleys, and mountain foothills

• Easy pace, perfect for off-season walking with shorter daylight hours

• Cultural immersion in towns like Tavira, Lagos, and Silves

Highlights:

• Begin in Tavira, one of the Algarve’s most elegant towns

• Walk through the Ria Formosa Natural Park, rich with birdlife

• Hike the epic Seven Hanging Valleys trail

• End at Cape St. Vincent, the southwestern tip of Europe

A full-sensory journey through Portugal’s southern soul — with fewer tourists and more time to connect.
