No need to spend time researching the area, figuring out how to get there, or worrying about the routes—we’ve taken care of all the details for you. Enjoy a seamless and enriching walking experience with us!
- The Cheesy walk,
- The Roman walk or Roman stroll,
- The Olive walk,
- The Moinhos walk,
- The Santiago (da Guarda) walk.
- Mouths of Casmilo walk,
- The Brothers-Gemanelo-and-Jerumelo climb,
- The Dolina’s of Sico.
For those seeking more challenging adventures, we offer tougher walks too. One of our most demanding routes The Dolina’s of Sico, has two options: a strenuous 8-hour walk covering around 23 kilometers, or a shorter circular walk of 17 kilometers. I have to admit, we always split the route in two and walk it in two days. With the heat and the length of the day, it was not possible for us to do that in one day.
