Itinerary
Fly to Porto. Once you land, your orientation will officially begin with some of our favorite icebreakers and “get to know you” activities.
Colorful buildings and Baroque spires dot the banks of the Rio Douro in this riverside town. Adventure awaits as you embark on an all-day waterfall canyoning experience in the rugged Peneda Geres National Park. Admire the sunset as you cruise the Rio Douro after your guided city tour of all the top spots.
Get ready to dive into the crystal blue waters of the Algarve region. Our home base is the quintessential beach town of Lagos, complete with cobbled streets, sprawling plazas, and enclosed by a 16th-century wall. Scenic beaches are just around the corner, making this a beloved spot for travelers. Check out the impressive rock formations, deserted beaches and sea caves from your sea kayak. Try out your moves at the disco and warm up your vocal chords at karaoke with exciting evenings out on the town.
This colorful cityscape is nestled into the hills above the Tagus River. Pedal through tree-lined streets and river paths on our guided bike tour, and hang ten at a surf school on the Atlantic. Enjoy the day in charming Sintra exploring the Quinta de Regaleira Palace and an evening in chic Cascais. After 12 amazing days, it is time to say goodbye to this incredible country and your many new friends.
Say farewell to your new friends as you part ways for your return home. The summer might be over, but all the memories you’ve made will last a lifetime!
