Hi!

Are you ready for nature getaway in Douro Valley?

My name is Rai and I’m a yoga teacher, wellness event organizer and I host hiking tours in Douro region. I believe nature combined with our favorite activities such as hiking & yoga provides free therapy for our nervous system. Therefore I invite you to a short NATURE GETAWAY where you can take a break from everyday life and reconnect with yourself. You get to stay in a beautiful place, practice yoga, hike and picnic and visit breathtaking viewpoints while avoiding overcrowded tourist areas!
