About Us

We offer original, authentic, and sustainable tours.

We include the best wines and Portuguese cuisine, and our tours always have direct contact with the natural and rural environment.

The company Eco Trilha is an incoming travel agency in Portugal, established in 2013, specializing in eco-tours and customized small group tours in Portugal (maximum 10 travelers).

Eco Trilha’s primary mission is to showcase its beautiful country for our visitors through all possible senses: taste, sound, sight, smell, and touch. But we know that relationships are necessary experiences, so we also facilitate engaging cultural exchanges with Portuguese people for the most authentic visit.

What Does EcoTrilha Mean?

EcoTrilha is a name rooted in a special story and a deep commitment to sustainability. Inspired by the dream of Cris’s mother, it embodies a vision of ecological harmony and respect for nature. In Portuguese, EcoTrilha translates to “ecological walks,” but our mission extends far beyond just walking.

At EcoTrilha, we believe that ecology can be practiced in the simplest aspects of our daily lives. This philosophy guides everything we do, from supporting local farms to incorporating sustainable practices in our tours. We aim to make a positive impact on both our environment and community. By choosing EcoTrilha, you’re not just embarking on a journey through beautiful landscapes; you’re also participating in a movement that values and preserves Portugal’s rich traditions.

Our tours are designed to connect travelers with the vibrant culture, history, and natural beauty of Portugal while emphasizing sustainability.
