The Travel Experience
How we do travel in Portugal
Most wellness travel appears in the form of “retreats”, where guests spend full days in the confines of a hotel or a resort. Terra & Tu, on the other hand, is a travel company, committed to getting our guests “out there” in an authentic manner. Our wellness activities complement our luxury travel experience rather than detract from it. In Porgual we provide a rich, engaging, and culturally immersive journey, each day another chance to discover the highlights and subtleties of the region. Taste (and help prepare!) traditional Portuguese cuisine. Tour private vineyards. Explore the verdant countryside. And marvel at the untouched beauty of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park. Plus, our itinerary is flexible, as we understand that a rewarding travel experience doesn’t look the same for everyone.
Local Connections
To travel to Portugal the right way, you need a local by your side. Our network of local trip leaders, experts and artisans allows us to journey through Portugal in a manner that is equal parts authentic and exclusive. Share a traditional Portuguese meal with local farmers. Explore historic sites with archaeologists. And gain an insider’s pass to visit with residents as friends. All by the side of our local staff.
Flexible Itineraries
Travel how you want. While our itinerary is full, with excursions into different and unique villages daily, we also allow ample opportunity for each traveler to select their own path. For those who elect to forgo a day’s scheduled adventure, relax at the villa pool, enjoy an extra yoga session or journey out on a hike.
Luxury Meets Authenticity
In Portugal, our experience is certainly luxurious. But it is also designed to be authentic. Our adventure is one of complete cultural immersion — you’ll stay in a luxury villa built on a historic farm, tour ancient towns, and experience authentic Portuguese foods and wines in a historical region that remains practically untouched by modern human development.
