School Trips to Portugal

Most groups who travel to Portugal actually choose to visit the Azores, a remarkable and spectacular Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. These nine volcanic islands are the ideal choice for a geography school trip with a difference and offer groups the opportunity to learn more about sustainable tourism.

The Azores are often regarded as a fantastic alternative to Iceland for a geography school trip. While Iceland allows students to see a country in the making, the Azores will give them a good idea of what Iceland may look like in around 2 million years’ time. They’ll learn all about the incredible geology here, as well as how the landscape and land use has changed. A real highlight your school trip to the Azores will be sampling one of the local delicacies – a stew prepared in volcanic calderas!
