Explore the Hidden Jewels 💎 of the North of Portugal with a Local

Hey!👋 Do you want to experience things that regular people usually miss and learn about the hidden jewels 💎of the north of Portugal? I have the perfect adventure for you! I'm excited to share with you a taste of Trás-os-Montes (a region in the north of Portugal) in 4 days. Yes! 4 days where we'll go back in time to historical buildings 🏰, experience cultural dishes 🥘, have a chance of tasting our Portuguese lovely wines 🍷, adventure on an aquatic hike 🌄 through a beautiful hidden river (one of my favorite rivers close to my hometown), sleep on a traditional castreja T3 house and finally to get back home well rested a visit to a spa on Pedras Salgadas nature park. 🚗 Since the area we're going to travel to is composed of villages/nature, and we have little time, to be more efficient our transportation will be done by a rental car. I can drive, although other drivers are always warmly welcomed. 🏡 Our accommodation will be a modern castreja T3 house on Alvão natural park village, meaning that we'll have 4 double beds, of which 2 are in separate rooms (couples 🫂 friendly) and the other 2 are in the same room. The house is equipped with all the comforts we might need, we do have a complete kitchenette in addition to a wonderful patio to relax and use in case we want to have meals at home. 🪧 Since this is a place that I know very well, for me, it's easy to adapt and include any suggestion you might have, my only concern is giving a smooth journey during this little duration trip, balancing relaxation and active times. 🤝 The activities are a mix of cultural and natural experiences that stimulate the use of all your senses. I'll go into more detail about each one in the day's description. I do have some others under my sleeve, depending on the preferences of the TripMates I'll be sharing this trip with. 🫰 For expenses like groceries or other activities, we'll be using the app Sliptwise to help us sync with our responsibilities. What is included in the price? - Accommodation - Visit to Mateus's House or Mateus's Palace - Wine tasting - Aquatic Hike - Spa Circuit - Car rental - Gas + tolls I'll include a buffer of 10% to be safe in case prices rise in the transportation and accommodation sector. If after the trip, we didn't need to use this buffer, I'll give the money back to you. 🤑 The price you see doesn't include restaurants, groceries, flight tickets, or other activities that we might do. 🥺 In the unfortunate case of not finding 4 TripMates, we'll have to share a higher price on accommodation and transportation. I'm a very open-minded and active person that will show and tell you, with great pleasure, the best of this part of the north, a place filled with history and natural richness ready to make you feel alive and connected with this place. See you when September ends! A warm hug from Portugal.
