Because of its privileged geographical position and natural resources, Portugal has ideal conditions for those who enjoy all kinds of physical activities.
A wide variety of different sports can be enjoyed in a landscape of great diversity and almost always with the guaranteed company of the radiant Portuguese sun, which shines all year round.
There are so many different activities on offer - ranging from paragliding to ballooning, from hiking to mountain-climbing, from surfing to canoeing - that you will find it almost impossible to choose!
Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean from north to south, Portugal is an ideal holiday destination for water sports enthusiasts.
The calm waters of the southern coast are perhaps best suited to activities such as water-skiing, whilst, further up the coast, the higher waves are an obvious temptation for surfers.
The mountains and plains of inland Portugal are perfect for such activities as rock-climbing, abseiling and canyoning, mountain-biking and following off-road trails, amongst many others.
And then there are the country`s protected areas - unspoilt natural paradises where walking, horse-riding and bird-watching are the great attractions, whilst you can also watch dolphins at play or simply commune with nature.
Portugal offers you the perfect chance to walk or ride in pleasant surroundings, enjoy all kinds of different sports or just appreciate the wonders of nature.
Activity-based Tourism and Ecotourism are the best possible ingredients for adding that extra spice to some truly unforgettable holidays!
The sky is always blue, the sun always shining brightly, and there are 850 km of Atlantic coastline lying in wait for you!
Ranging from the higher waves and cooler waters of the north to the warmer and more serene waters of the Algarve, you can choose between the privacy offered by small coves and bays or the sense of great openness offered to you by the long sandy beaches, where you can walk and explore the coast or just enjoy the life and entertainment all around you.
However, if you prefer greener pastures, you can set off to discover the country`s Natural Parks and Nature Reserves, where Mother Nature has remained largely unspoilt and where all of her charm is still preserved.
