How to Determine the Difficulty Level of a Hike

Natalia Portugalia hiking tours are designed for various types of people, so all you need is adequate physical preparation and a special love for hiking. We determine the difficulty level of each hike based on factors such as distance, terrain type, and, whenever possible, predicted weather conditions. If you still have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Regardless of whether the hike is easy or difficult, come and experience the magic of nature.
