The aim of this tour is to showcase a unique and beautiful side of Portugal that, unfortunately, few tourists have the chance to experience. A Portugal that is more peaceful, lush, and rural, yet one that also has its own incredible traditions and is brimming with art, culture...

We will visit three neighboring villages: Figueiró dos Vinhos, Pedrógão Grande, and (a bit of) Pedrógão Pequeno.

In all of them, we’ll be surrounded by the wonders of nature. Forests and mountains will be part of our landscape all afternoon. But we’ll also have time to visit one of the country’s most beautiful river beaches a natural wonder (with the chance to walk a bit along the extraordinary boardwalk), as well as to see one of Portugal’s largest (and also beautiful) dams.

Art will also be part of our visit, as will the discovery of some traditional products. and monuments.

What to expect

This tour is an unique opportunity to see unique villages located in the countryside of Portugal, in the centre of Portugal . A hidden side of Portugal—different, but just as wonderful. Fabulous landscapes, mountains, river beaches, local products, viewpoints... an incredible dam, the gorgeous walkway, and also incredible street art, and cultural spaces (opportunity to visit a museum- if the tour is made on Friday- where some of the paintings—among other works—by some of Portugal's most prominent artists are on display; and a recreation of a Portuguese classroom from the 1940s to the 1970s) ...

These regions have their own culture, and although many people are unaware of it, some of Portugal’s greatest figures—both past and present—have ties to these lands. Let’s talk about them, too.

We will have time to talk about history, legends, myths, and the present

On our tour, will always be some free time. Suggestion: if we visit the region in the summer, take a dip in the region’s beautiful (and sometimes cold) waters.

Our trips will be made by (rent a) car, with a certified guide, and with roots in the surrounding regions.
