This trip is physically active. Each day, travelers may walk up to 4 miles for group activities. On the Rota Vicentina, travelers will be expected to hike about 10 miles per day, on potentially rocky, sometimes slippery, flat, uphill, and downhill natural terrain and cliffsides. Travelers will need to pack appropriate shoes and hiking gear, and sun protection. Luggage will be transported between accommodations on the trail, but travelers will be expected to carry what they need for the hiking portions.
Our Itinerary*
-
Get settled in at our hotel nestled in Lisbon’s city center, and join the group for a welcome dinner at one of Lisbon’s famous historic restaurants.
-
Experience Lisboa through a local’s eyes for the next two days. We’ll move around the city mostly by foot, visiting the sites, tasting local treats, indulging in the culture and history, and dinner with a view.
-
Dig deeper into the flavors of the city, tasting a local port and cheese and listening to live fado music.
-
Start the day with a couple of hours to explore on your own, or with your new group friends before we say farewell to Lisbon for now, and make our way South to the Alentejo region. Get acquainted with the countryside on a lunch stop at a winery, and then settle into our new hotel for the next 3 nights.

Our first full-day hike along the Rota Vicentina trail with a pack lunch, and the magic of some hearty Portuguese comfort food for dinner.

Connect with the community as we stop in at a family-owned ceramics workshop and, check out a quaint fishermen’s town to try the local’s favorite grilled fish lunch.
-
Spend another full day on the trail with a fresh view of the sunny Algarve. Walk along striking ocean cliff sides to what was known as “the end of the world”… until North America was discovered by Europeans. Meet up with your luggage when we arrive in the Faro and settle in for the next 2 nights.

Wake up in the sunny Algarve! The ever-famous Southern tip of Portugal, neighboring Spain and Morocco. Enjoy a day out on the water via private chartered boat to relax, swim and island hop.
