Saturday 15th May 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate-friendly travel is in everyone\u2019s interest. Many of us are now already planning their next trip. How about a long-distance hike through the natural and cultural landscape of Portugal?\u00a0 Those who don\u2019t want to forsake their holiday entirely should calculate the CO2 burden resulting from their trip. ECO123 recommends climate-friendly travel by train & bus, by bike and on foot. The Via Algarviana (300 km), the Fisherman\u2019s Trail, part of the Rota Vicentina (223 km) and the Grande Rota Vale do C\u00f4a (220 km) for instance are three long-distance hikes out of many different trails on offer. Travel in a climate-friendly way: seven days, two weeks or even longer. The goal here is to just take your time.<\/p>\n

ECO123 has many years of experience in travel that is easy on the climate, and hiking. Arriving by coach or train is the most environmentally friendly solution, bearing in mind that the most climate-friendly way to travel should take precedence. We are a magazine and once a year we offer our readers a long-distance trail experience, hiking in a small group. The next opportunity will be in 2022. For an idea of how beautiful this kind of hike can be, take a look at www.via-algarviana.com<\/a> and www.eco123.info<\/a>. Those who prefer to hike independently in Portugal might want to watch the short movies (see box) and to take the planning of their hike and reserving the accommodation into their own hands. If you enjoy travelling on foot, why not take a look at the information on the many different opportunities currently on offer through Hiking in Portugal<\/em>. For instance, you may start the Via Algarviana on the Spanish border at Alcoutim and cross the back country, staying overnight in small local hostelries, eating locally, and reaching Europe\u2019s southernmost cape after 14 stages.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like more information on the guided long-distance trail in 2022, write a personal email to editor@eco123.info<\/a> including your contact details. The group size will be around six to eight hikers.<\/p>\n
