About us

SAL is a tour operator specialized in Nature Tourism and Cultural Tourism. It was founded on April 1, 1996 by José Pedro Calheiros who, at the time, believed that the future development of his country would be based on nature tourism and knowledge.

All activities take place on national territory, for residents and tourists. All events preferably take place in a natural or cultural environment, and with the clear objective of creating joy and sharing knowledge with visitors and locals.

Since the summer of 1996, SAL has offered walking tours every weekend. It currently has around 210 different pedestrian routes, both natural and urban, ready to be used.

The Arrábida Territory was where it all began and where much of its hiking activity takes place, covering all the landscapes, all the points of interest and all the knowledge of this privileged region.


The trademark Walk in Arrábida is the way to safely, reliably and enjoy your walking events with SAL.

With a program of one day, a weekend, a few days or long trips, choosing Walk in Arrábida is to be sure that you will walk with people who know a lot about this territory and who love to share knowledge and feelings about an admirable Portugal, almost unknown...
