Do you like to feel strong emotions? The wide range of different landscapes to be found over only a short distance makes Portugal the ideal place for active holidays with all kinds of new sensations. Accept our invitation and come and try out some extreme sports or just get back in touch with nature. Let yourself be inspired.

Ride down the River Minho or the River Rio Paiva at high speed. Or if it’s the sea that you really like, you have some of the best spots in Europe for surfing and windsurfing, both along the coast of the Lisbon region and in the Algarve. And in Madeira too. And you will certainly feel your adrenaline flowing when you try the most recently developed sport, kitesurfing, as you cross the beach from one side to the other driven by the power of the wind.

Have you ever been for a ride in a hot air balloon? Discover the wonderful sensation of lightness as you float over the Alentejo plains. If you prefer having your feet on the ground while you enjoy contact with nature in the Azores, then you can choose trekking or venture forth on a mountain bike and test your sense of orienteering.

Whether you’re on the water, on land or in the air, come and find your escape route in Portugal!
