No Fear of Heights Here! Agents braved the Arouca No Fear of Heights Here! Agents braved the Arouca 516 metre long bridge, one of the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world. The bridge is suspended 175 metres above River Paiva. 

Like many of the adventure activities in #AroucaGeopark, the bridge is accessible to people with disabilities. With advance notice, wheelchair users can enter through the accessible entrance, and  travellers with limited mobility can request access to a wheelchair and assistance from their guide.

From spectacular indoor gardens and refined yet relaxed rooms to a terrific beach, fine dining and great service, this resort is making quite the impression.

Let’s just say Jim might be making a few people back home a little jealous! 😉🏖️

Travel advisors from Canada and the USA are competing for the podium, but it wasn’t all about the race. One challenge brought teams to a local charity, where they assembled care packages filled with essentials to support Porto’s homeless community. A chance to give back while competing for the grand prize.

A full day of discovery in Portugal’s stunning Dou A full day of discovery in Portugal’s stunning Douro Valley! 🇵🇹🍇🍷

The Air Canada–United Airlines Race teams headed to Quinta da Pacheca for a memorable afternoon of food, wine and hands-on experiences. Agents tapped into their creative side during an art class using wine as paint, then stepped behind the scenes to create their own custom Port wine blends to take home.

A perfect mix of local flavour, creativity and friendly competition in one of Portugal’s most celebrated wine regions. And this is just one stop on the journey! 🍷✨
