As a service provided by Waypoint, an eco-tourism company based in Portugal, Walk in Portugal is one of those ways to explore and discover a new destination without leaving your size 9 carbon footprint.

Pedestrianism has come a long way from its competitive nature to the pedestrianism practiced today in programmes like Walk in Portugal. Waypoint approaches tourism as a way to connect travellers with cultural differences in ways that won’t create a detrimental impact on the environment and the visited societies and cultures. Exploring this small country goes a long way when you’re walking the average of 8 kilometers through parks like Peneda-Gêres Pan Park, or updating your photography portfolio with photos of the waterfalls found in Serra da Freita. Regardless of the scenery, your walking, vision and photography skills are bound to be put to the test. Surely you will ace it.
