Program Overview

Cosmopolitan cities, beautiful beaches, quaint medieval towns, and exciting nightlife; this trip for high schoolers across Spain and Portugal has it all! Grab your passport and sense of adventure and tour large, metropolitan cities and small, off-the-beaten-path villages and beachside towns. Immerse yourself in the wonder of Spain’s artistic masterpieces and sample some tapas or maybe a pastéis de nata while enjoying thrilling canyoning, kayaking, and surfing.

Excellent leaders are responsible for small groups of teens, following an expertly planned itinerary that allows flexibility and spontaneity. Please note that, on some dates, a limited number of participants depart on day 17, and new participants may join as the group continues to Portugal.
