The philosophy in our walks in Portugal is simple!

Our walks in Portugal combine, with charm and harmony, the active discovery of the Alentejo’s heritage and landscape with the pleasures of a good wine and local gastronomy.

With this philosophy we organize walks in Portugal, cycling holidays, expeditions for families and friends and outdoor events, which promote team building for company groups.

We have also written several guidebooks promoting our region, creating an important footprint of tools and information to help to a better understanding of our region.
And recently we created a unique sense of well being in our guesthouse near Évora to welcome you.

To keep it short, we can only say… it’s been 28 years. It’s a long time! It’s about Turaventur!

Our mission is…

To proudly offer our guests the Alentejo with its clean air and endless landscapes of land and sea. No stress, no worries.

We believe in what we do. Our guides are specialists and multi-skilled, experienced and determined, careful and thoughtful. They know how to be there for you, they’ll make you feel safe and they’ll make sure you’ll have fun, relax and enjoy.

We believe…

In sustainable tourism, local partners, top quality services.

In tourism as a powerful source of peace, friendship and understanding between people and as a mean of sustainable local development and preservation of the natural and cultural heritage.
