High School Study Abroad in Lagos, Portugal

What better way to spend your summer vacation than by exploring Europe’s spectacular Iberian Peninsula? Spain and Portugal are two of this year’s trendiest travel destinations, and with good reason! Let Portugal’s vibrant culture and eclectic architecture wow you as you stroll the hillside neighborhood of Alfama in Lisbon. If you listen carefully, you’ll even hear the sounds of traditional fado music being sung as you explore the hidden alleyways and hip boutiques. Take a day trip to the estate town of Sintra, where you’ll visit two hilltop castles with views that extend all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Soak up the sun and sand at Lagos’ world-class beaches as we kayak through hidden grottoes, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and watch the sunset at the End of the World!

From Lisbon's big-city excitement to Lagos's small-town charm, you will have a blast exploring Portugal on this trip for high schoolers. You and your fellow travelers will enjoy thrilling canyoning, kayaking, and surfing! Supervised by outstanding leaders, this summer program for small groups allows you to occasionally go off the beaten path to explore charming towns and discover local treasures. It is designed to help create a lifetime of curiosity, exploration, and connection with others. Please note that participants on some departures join us for the last 12 days of our extended 28-day Spain & Portugal program.
