Douro Wild Expedition

The crossing is done in three stages of roughly 10, 15 and 13 km, on mountain terrain, over three consecutive days. It's a moderate level: no technical experience needed, but you should be used to walking for several hours.

Seven at most. The group is small by design, so it fits the rural lodgings and the trails we walk.

In rural lodging in the Upper Douro, two nights, breakfast included. The overnight stops are part of the route and are chosen for their proximity to each stage.

The train ride from Porto to Pocinho is included and is part of the experience: it runs the Douro railway line along the most beautiful stretch of the valley.

The three days of guided trekking, the train, two nights of lodging, breakfasts, lunches on the trail, dinners, the wine tasting, the boat ride, internal transfers and personal accident insurance.

No. Our activities are designed for all levels. The guide adapts the pace and difficulty to the group, so anyone in reasonable physical condition can join.

We assess conditions in the 24h before. If it's unsafe to go ahead, we'll reschedule or fully refund. Light rain usually doesn't cancel — the mountain is beautiful under clouds too.

Book through the online form or WhatsApp. We confirm availability within 24 hours. Payment is made after confirmation via bank transfer or MB Way — nothing is charged before we confirm.

Free cancellation up to 48h before the activity, with full refund. Within 48h, the date can be changed subject to availability.

Our guides run the activities in Portuguese, English and Spanish. If you would prefer another language, tell us when booking and we will confirm availability.

It depends on the activity. The 4x4 tours and the Douro boat tours are the most accessible, since most of the time is spent in the vehicle or on board, with short stops. Trails and night hikes involve uneven ground. Talk to us before booking and we will point you to the best option.

For experiences that include a meal or tasting, tell us about any dietary restrictions when booking. We confirm them in advance with the local producers and restaurants we work with.

Each expedition has its own grade (easy, moderate, hard) — always shown on the page. We recommend some hiking habit for trips longer than one day.
