History:
Terracotta Journeys was founded in 2007 after Pedro left his corporate office job and decided it was time to pursue his true passion: showing visitors the best of Portugal and Spain on bike or foot. After a year of planning and prospecting for the perfect routes, lodging and restaurants with the help of his American wife Eva, Terracotta Journeys was born. Subsequently the 2008 financial crisis hit but Terracotta survived thanks to very happy customers and to good friends spreading the word about the company. In 2010, the company began running trips in Portugal and Spain for REI Adventures, a large outdoor equipment co-op based in the US. This led to a fruitful decade-long partnership in which the company grew and grew, adding new guides and trips and gaining loads of experience. Terracotta Journeys’ Portugal Coastal Hiking tour was REI Adventures’ best selling tour in the world for several years and our guide team won 4 REI Top Guide Awards during those years. With the COVID-19 crisis Terracotta Journeys has been forced to hibernate for a year but we are all excited to get back out on the trails and roads with guests and continue to offer them their best vacation ever.
