Payment and cancellation
- 25% deposit of the package price confirms the booking. Of that, €150 per person is a booking fee that is not refunded if you cancel.

If you cancel, we refund what you've paid, less the €150 per person booking fee:

Travel insurance is required and isn't included; we don't sell insurance, so you buy it in your own name. Full booking conditions.
For years we've told you the truth: you can plan the Camino Português yourself, and our free guides show you exactly how. They're staying free. But plenty of you have written back with the same message: I've read everything, now can you just handle it? This package is that answer.
It's the full Central Route from Porto's cathedral to Santiago's: 246 km over 12 nights and 11 walking stages. You walk it organised, at your own pace, on the classic waymarked way. We book the rooms worth sleeping in, move your bag to the next town every morning, and answer your email when the day goes sideways.
"You walk every step of it. We make sure the bed is booked, the bag is ahead of you, and your email gets answered."
The 12 nights, stage by stage.
This is the classic Central-route rhythm: the same stages our free stage guide walks you through, with a bed waiting at the end of each one.

Most days sit between 15 and 28 km; day 4 into Ponte de Lima is the one long stage, and if that number worries you, an extra night (€100 pp) breaks it in two. Prefer a different pace altogether? Email us before you book and we'll talk it through.
The package, answered.
The questions we hear most about this trip, answered the same way we write the guides: plainly.
How fit do I need to be for 246 km?
Reasonably active, not athletic. Most days sit between 15 and 28 km on gentle terrain, with one long 34 km day into Ponte de Lima. And because your bag travels by van, you walk with only a daypack, which changes everything. If you can comfortably walk a few hours back to back on consecutive days, you can train the rest. For the unvarnished picture, read our guide to how hard the Camino Português really is.
When should I go?
Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–early October) are the sweet spots: warm but walkable, long daylight, the trail lively but not overwhelmed. July and August run hot inland on the Central route, and winter is quiet but wet. Our month-by-month weather guide breaks down every month so you can pick with your eyes open.
Is this a good option for women walking solo?
The Camino Português is one of the world's most walked, best waymarked trails, and women walk it alone in large numbers every year. This package adds a booked private room every night, your bag handled, and an email address that reaches someone who knows exactly where you are, plus a single supplement of €660 for the trip (€55 a night) instead of the punishing solo pricing that's typical. We've written about the real questions in our solo female guide to the Camino Português.
How does the luggage transfer actually work?
Each morning you leave one bag (up to 20 kg per person) at your accommodation's reception and walk away with just your daypack. While you're on the trail, the bag is driven to your next night's accommodation, so it's waiting when you arrive. It runs every walking day of the itinerary; all eleven transfers are in the price, with nothing to arrange en route.
What happens after I create an account?
Nothing scary. There's no deposit and no obligation: you're creating an account, not signing a contract. You'll get occasional updates while we finish registration, and when bookings open, account holders choose their 2027 dates first, including the Holy Year. If it stops being useful, ask us to delete the account and it all goes.
