While some of our guests strive for a strenuous edge to their trekking adventures, many of our travelers prefer to put culture and dramatic scenery first and opt for a milder trekking option for their vacations.
For the latter type of traveler, we have gone ahead and put together a list of incredible treks that lead to mind-blowing destinations but still leave the ol’ knees intact, so travelers can enjoy the destination trekked to after the trek itself is over! ?
Camino de Santiago

The Portuguese Coastal Way is another very popular Camino route and is and excellent alternative to the French Way.

The seafood along the route is gorgeous with fresh produce served in most restaurants.

Meet fellow pilgrims, discover local traditions and get your pilgrim passport stamped as you walk through woodlands, farmland and rustic hamlets. Once in Santiago, get your “Compostela” certificate and explore the magic of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This will be a self-guided hike. It can be customized (itinerary and accommodations), and we can arrange a private guide for you. The hike can be stretched to 9 days.
All treks include luggage transfer, so you just carry a day pack with the things you need for the day.
