Overview

This cycle tour holiday traverses the entire length of Portugal along the iconic N2 route, covering approximately 750 km and ascending nearly 9,000 meters. Experience the rich culture of Portugal as you pass through charming villages and vibrant cities. Indulge in local delicacies, from craft beers and fine wines to delectable pastries. Our dedicated support includes a 1:4 guide-to-rider ratio and a daily support vehicle ensuring your comfort and safety. The Cycle Tour commences with a pickup in Porto, leading to the starting point in Chaves, and concludes with a celebratory evening in Faro. Starting in the ancient spa town of Chaves, just shy of the Spanish border, we’ll take you all the way to Faro, where the Atlantic breeze welcomes you at journey’s end. Along the way, we pass through vineyard-covered hillsides in the Douro Valley, the open plains of the Alentejo, and vibrant, historic cities that beg to be explored once the day’s ride is done. Expect a mix of remote backroads, fast descents, and long, satisfying climbs, this is a cyclist’s bucket list ride, supported every pedal stroke of the way. Each evening, you’ll rest and recover in a comfortable hotel or guesthouse in one of Portugal’s most picturesque towns: Chaves, Lamego, Viseu, Góis, Andreus, Montemor-o-Novo, Castro Verde, and finally Faro. Every location is carefully selected to offer not only a great night’s sleep but a true taste of local culture.
