NEW YORK — Exodus Adventure Travels is expanding its European portfolio with a fresh selection of immersive itineraries across Portugal, responding to rising traveller interest in the destination.

Developed in partnership with Visit Portugal, the new itineraries range from island-hopping hikes and wine-region discoveries to scenic cycling adventures along the coast. Led by expert local guides, including João Colaço – named Exodus’ Leader of the Year in 2024 – travellers will engage with Portugal’s lesser-known gems while experiencing the hospitality and traditions the country is known for.

Exodus’ new trips highlight the company’s continued focus on small-group, experience-led travel. From expert-led walking tours to cultural encounters and active cycling journeys, the new programs are designed for curious travellers looking for meaningful, responsible adventures.

New and enhanced itineraries in the Portugal collection include:
