Discover Portugal's Alentejo & Algarve on a Women’s Adventure | April 10–21, 2026

In 2025 we fell in love with BOTH the Alentejo & Algarve regions so for 2026 we are combining them into one big beautiful adventure!

Designed for women who crave a balance of active exploration and cultural immersion, this journey blends scenic hiking, e-biking, and kayaking with authentic connections to inspiring Portuguese women artisans, farmers, and winemakers.
