Highlights

Serra da Estrela Pass

Your Portugal motorcycle tour crosses the highest passes in the country – past granite outcrops, mountain villages, and sweeping views on the road from Gouveia to Belmonte, right through the heart of Portugal.

Historic Villages

On this tour of Portugal's historic villages you'll visit Sortelha and Castelo Rodrigo, where cobblestone streets and centuries-old walls speak of times gone by – a peaceful contrast to the winding tracks before and after.

Portugal's Castle Route

The Castle Route motorcycle tour links fortresses such as Almeida and the castle of Montalegre at 1,000 meters altitude – imposing structures that reveal the turbulent history of the border region with Spain.

Terra Fria & Bragança

The stage to Bragança is among the longest of the tour: the Vilariça Valley, Serra de Bornes, and the Azibo reservoir line the route before you reach the high plateau of the Terra Fria Transmontana.

KTM Enduro Experience

As a KTM enduro tour through Portugal, the KTM 450, 350, or 250 carries you safely over gravel and asphalt. Experienced guides adjust the route to your riding level, whether you're a beginner or a pro.
