Experience Portugal’s vibrant cities and stunning natural landscapes on a 7-day journey through Lisbon, Sintra, and Porto with Eco Trilha. Small groups, private transport, and curated culinary stops bring the country’s heritage and outdoors alive.
Portugal’s rugged Atlantic coast, rolling vineyards, and centuries-steeped cities provide a dynamic backdrop for a seven-day journey that balances immersive culture with striking outdoor landscapes. Based in Lisbon—the nation’s vibrant capital—Eco Trilha’s 7-Day Portugal Tour delivers an intimate experience through three essential destinations: Lisbon, Sintra, and Porto. This route captures Portugal’s diverse natural and cultural character, from dramatic cliff-lined beaches near Sintra to the terraced Douro Valley vineyards ringing Porto.
Starting in Lisbon, you are introduced to cobblestone streets flanked by azulejo-tiled buildings and sweeping views from hilltop miradouros. With small group sizes and private transportation, the trip provides flexibility to absorb the city’s rich maritime history and buzzing food markets while offering guided hikes at nearby natural parks such as Arrábida. Next, Sintra emerges—a UNESCO World Heritage site where lush pine forests cloak Moorish castles and the vibrant Pena Palace perches amid dense, fragrant woodland, a rare natural enclave blending history and ecology.
The journey finishes in Porto, a city shaped by the fast-flowing Douro River. Here, the landscape changes; rugged granite outcrops merge with terraced hills covered in grapes crucial for world-famous port wine. Eco Trilha’s culinary experiences, including authentic wine tastings and local pastry sampling, punctuate every day with connection to place. This dynamic interplay of vigorous walking tours, cultural insights, and gastronomic highlights sets Eco Trilha apart as a standout guide to Portugal’s outdoor and cultural richness.
By blending well-paced walks with historic urban settings and natural parks, this tour caters to adventurers craving active cultural encounters, not just traditional sightseeing. It reveals Portugal’s outdoors—from coastal cliffs to vineyard-covered slopes—while fostering a genuine connection to local heritage and nature conservation.
