Holidays in privileged natural settings... when was the last time you went on a relaxing trip to the countryside? Or by the sea?
In Portugal, you'll discover unique landscapes and wonderful belvederes that offer fabulous views over the land and sea. For instance, in the archipelago of the Azores, famous for its magical atmosphere, you'll discover a harmonious blend of blue and green. In the island of Madeira, one only needs to follow the water-courses in order to encounter a spectacular range of animal and plant life.
Portugal's nature reserves and parks, in coastal and inland zones also offer ideal spots for relaxation. What do you fancy? A bit of horse riding, sailing, boat trips, cycling, walking... there’s no need to decide beforehand. You can pursue different activities in each location. But always remember to take your bathing costume with you... you're constantly bump into rivers and streams and will find it difficult to resist the refreshing waters...
You’ll enjoy this unique encounter with nature, mixed with the pleasure of discovery, and we’ll be delighted to receive you. Come to Portugal and enjoy a well-deserved rest! |
