Discover the old footpaths of a little known paradise & more....
Consider
joining us as we explore, by foot, the old footpaths of the western most
remote tip of Europe. This enchanted, mysterious destination is
just where you might expect the heart of the Atlantic to be. Little
noticed by the world, and largely forgotten by time, the small
island FLORES and its tiny neighbor CORVO have stood quietly way out
there beyond the horizon of time and humanity. These islands
watched, and sometimes hosted explorers, discoverers and adventurers
en route to the New World. Now it's their
turn to be discovered in all their tranquil beauty, and unspoiled
charm.

When you join one of our Fully Guided Weeks, you will experience first hand why
it is our philosophy that travel and explorations are best
done in small groups, (never more then 12), and by foot ("a pe"). This
is especially true when one's playground is a place so rich in nature
as these two islands. With this in mind, we've created a
week-long trekking and walking program designed to delight the
senses, as we discover the vast network of ancient footpaths
connecting all 12 villages of the island. These beaten paths meander along the
coast, high on the edge of cliffs, down verdant valleys, along the
shore, across dairy pastures, and up into hill country high above
the villages, all along their way, revealing the MANY TREASURES that
exist here.
