Portugal: Porto, The Douro Valley, & Lisbon Hiking
As a small country planted by the Atlantic seafront and surrounded by the neighborly Spanish dry air, Portugal is overflowing with history and diverse landscape that this Boundless Journeys' itinerary explores in urban and secluded trails. In the deep green north, we’ll find Porto, the medieval town of Guimaraes, the Natural Park of Peneda Geres, and the Douro Valley, where we’ll walk across the sweet-scented vineyards and sample Port wine in an antique cellar. We’ll walk in remote mountains schist villages and view the scenery of rare beauty, framed by the blue sky. The cosmopolitan and vibrant city of Lisbon enchants us with the allure of the Tagus River.
