Add an ExtensionThe countryside of Portugal, with its hillside farms and historic vineyards, has a timeworn charm that demands exploration. Start your tour in the Minho region, hiking a segment of the famous pilgrimage route, the Caminho de Santiago. You’ll trek through forested valleys and rugged mountain pastures before descending the ancient “Way of Faith.” The entire Douro River Valley is a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s renowned for its terraced vineyards and stunning beauty. Here, you’ll discover the stone fortress town of Marialva and cruise the Douro River in a traditionally styled wine cask boat. During your Minho and Douro Valley tours you’ll stay at an elegant manor house built for traveling kings as well as a heritage estate on the banks of the Douro River.
