This is a land of castles, wine, ships, farming, and of warm, friendly people. Rolling hills, vineyards, orchards, stone walls, castles on hilltops, a tradition of song and the home of “port” wine—this is Portugal.

The itinerary takes us through the extraordinarily diverse countryside of Portugal. Your photography opportunities will abound. You will visit a fantastic range of interesting attractions from magnificent valleys to medieval castles, and graceful olive groves, enjoy the flavorful cuisine and excellent wines and cheeses of each region. The tour leader is not only a local in Portugal, but she is also a photographer. She provides access and personal relationships through out the tour. This adds just the right compliment to the visual excitement that Portugal offers.

Cultural gems are everywhere. They include Unesco World Heritage Sites, and of course, the lively pulse of Portugal’s delightful capital, Lisbon, tops off the tour. Although we work with an itinerary, it is subject to change when a new photo opportunity or wonderful weather and lighting conditions present themselves. Your accommodations have been chosen for being centrally located, allowing us easy access to the local color and the captivating charm of Portugal.
