Portugal has traditionally been a nation of great explorers, and is a country that in turn deserves to be explored itself. Whether you like mountains, valleys or coastal walking, Portugal and its islands have something for you.

On the mainland you can explore the Douro Valley, the grandeur and tranquillity of which are striking, or go walking in the Algarve – our holidays reveal the quiet side of this well-known region, where flower-clad hills tumble down to honey-coloured cliffs framing pristine beaches.

Of all the regions that we feature in our programme, our most popular destination for walking holidays is Madeira, and deservedly so – walking in Madeira is made all the more special by the glorious displays of flowers which thrive in the sunshine. Indeed, so mild is the climate, with little seasonal variation in temperatures, that we offer walking holidays in Madeira all year round.

Just as lush, if not more so, are the landscapes of the Azores. Walking here, you will discover dramatic volcanoes, crater lakes and hot springs.

Whichever corner you choose for your Inntravel holiday, you will enjoy some of the best walking Madeira, the Azores and mainland Portugal have to offer.
