4 Nights accommodation and 3 days of walking/hiking with our rescue dogs in the Serra da Estrela mountain range in Central Portugal.
We have up to 26 dogs in our care and some of them love to go out hiking. This is also a fabulous way for our more nervous dogs to learn to love and trust strangers by associating them with fun times. Would you like to combine your love of walking and dogs to help us raise money for the sanctuary. In exchange for this experience, we ask you to make a donation of €295 directly to the Sanctuary , all of which will be used for the animals.
We will explore different walks around the Serra da Estrela, visiting villages of interest and beautiful look out points. Hiking through the countryside as off road as possible.
Walks range from 3 - 6hrs including travel time to and from walk start point and finish.
