Almond Trees in Bloom

Set off on an unforgettable private tour from Porto to the Upper Douro, where nature, culture, and local flavors come together in a display of rare beauty.

From late February, spring awakens early in this lesser-known region of Portugal. The sun-kissed slopes of Vila Flor, Freixo de Espada à Cinta, Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Mogadouro, and Vila Nova de Foz Côa are covered in a mantle of white and pink blossoms: almond trees in bloom transform the hillsides into glowing clouds, offering breathtaking scenery best appreciated on foot.

This tour invites you to hike these enchanting trails on a gentle 5 to 7 km hike. Walking beneath flowering trees, feeling the petals gently fall like pink snow, and watching the sunlight dance across the landscape is a truly sensory experience. The path leads through landscapes shaped by time, wind, and human hands, revealing the soul of the territory.

But the experience doesn’t end there. The Upper Douro is also home to exceptional regional products. You’ll have the chance to taste crunchy almonds, fruity olive oil, and elegant DOC wines. These flavors tell the story of a land that is harsh yet generous, cultivated with dedication and pride.

To complete your immersion, you’ll visit the Côa Museum, a contemporary building overlooking the valley, which houses one of the world’s most important collections of Paleolithic rock art. The engravings left by hunter-gatherers more than 20,000 years ago bear witness to the creativity and artistic sensitivity of our distant ancestors.

Throughout the day, you’ll travel in a fully electric Tesla Model 3, combining comfort, elegance, and environmental awareness. This private tour is ideal for nature lovers, walkers, history enthusiasts, and those seeking genuine experiences.

Join us for a day of wonder and discovery in one of Portugal’s most beautiful hidden gems.
