Exodus Adventure Travels has added six new and enhanced Portugal itineraries to their European portfolio in partnership with Visit Portugal to design trips that take travelers beyond typical tourist routes into authentic experiences across mainland Portugal and its island territories.
Portugal continues to attract North American travelers with its many advantages, including direct flights from major cities, 3,000 hours of annual sunshine and over 500 miles of Atlantic coastline. The country’s compact size is perfect for visitors to experience different landscapes and cultural traditions within relatively short travel distances.
Portugal for the Win
These new offerings are particularly valuable for clients seeking active travel experiences led by local experts. Award-winning guides like Joao Colaço, named Exodus’ Leader of the Year in 2024, provide cultural context and access to locations most travelers miss. The company has maintained its commitment to small group sizes, ensuring clients get personalized attention and authentic local interactions.
The mainland itineraries include Walking Portugal’s Wild Algarve, which follows the Rota Vicentina coastal trail past secluded beaches and whitewashed villages. Your clients enjoy vineyard tastings, sample artisanal olive oil and walk clifftop paths to Cabo de Sao Vicente. For guests looking for upscale accommodations with cultural immersion, Discover Northern Portugal – Premium Adventure offers a scenic train journey through the Douro Valley wine region, a traditional moliceiro boat ride in Aveiro and a guided exploration of historic Porto, all accompanied by stays in premium hotels.
Walking the Island of Madeira takes travelers along levadas (irrigation channels) and mountain trails from the coastal village of Machico to Pico Ruivo’s summit, with comfortable accommodations throughout. The Madeira Discovery – Premium Adventure focuses on the island’s distinctive food and wine culture, including a visit to the island of Porto Santo.
For clients drawn to volcanic landscapes, Walking in the Azores crosses three distinct islands featuring lava plateaus, crater rims and UNESCO-listed vineyards. Adventurous travelers can optionally climb Mount Pico for exceptional views. Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride, which follows Portugal’s coast through fishing villages and natural reserves, including the Sao Jacinto dunes and an overnight in medieval Obidos.
