8-DAY
GROUP TOUR IN
AUTHENTIC NORTHERN PORTUGAL
THROUGH
HIDDEN TREASURES ALONG THE DOURO REGION
THE
ONLY PORT WINE REGION IN THE WORLD
The North of Portugal is the perfect destination
for those looking for something different than the beaches of the
Algarve or the rush of Lisbon. Here you can still find the real
Portuguese way of life and pure nature. This region is not yet overrun
by mass tourism and therefore excellent to discover the authentic
Portugal with its fine traditions. The charm of the North can be felt
in the characteric villages, impressive natural parks and centuries-old
cities.
The great Douro river forms the border with the
rest of Portugal and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The grapes
of the world famous Port grow on the river banks in terraced vineyards
and the small towns along the river have their own unique atmosphere.
There are more hidden treasures in the mountains beyond the river that
deserve to be discovered!
Vila Real, the capital of the province
Trás - os - Montes, is located between the Douro
river and the natural park Serra do Alvão. This impressive
nature reserve has an altitude of 700-1300 meters and varied flora and
fauna, forests, rivers, waterfalls and rocks. Winding mountain roads
lead to authentic villages where small-scale agriculture is practiced
and time seems to stand still. From April till October, it is possible
to experience all the beauty that this region has to offer! Realtours
guides you along the unforgettable places in this unique region.
