Why should I choose to travel with Terracotta Journeys?
  1. Because we’ll give you the vacation of a lifetime!! Our trips are designed for people who want to savor a country up close, on foot or from the saddle of a bike.
  2. We are a local operator with over 14 years of experience developing and operating tours – including 11 years for REI Adventures when we ran their best-selling tour in 2017 and 2019 – and we have close to 3000 satisfied customers (see our testimonials on each trip page).
  3. Our perfectly planned itineraries combine just the right amount of daily activity with culture highlights, varied landscapes and delicious meals with regional wines.
  4. We have an excellent team of local trip leaders who we are very close to and have worked with for years. They are highly knowledgeable about the regions we travel in, caring, professional, Red Cross certified and most of all, interesting people who are fun to be with. Four of our trip leaders are REI Adventures Top-Guide Award winners.
  5. We treat you like visiting friends and give you a travel experience that you could never have on your own or with a large international company. REI Adventures had it right when they worked only with specialized local companies.
  6. As bi-cultural owner-managers of Terracotta Journeys Eva and Pedro continue to lead tours themselves and understand their customers’ needs. Pedro studied at college in the U.S. and Eva is an American who studied anthropology and has lived in Portugal for almost 30 years.
