Living at 4200 meters - the movie

February 23rd, 2010

Tiago Pedrosa, one of A2Z co-founders and guide, finally published the movie with his living experience at Kargyak, India.

Tiago was a volunteer at the Sun School for Kargyak for almost 4 months were he was a teacher and managed the school.

If the movie inspires you to visit such places, give a look at our Trekking - Himalayas, Shingo La & Zanskar Trails or MTB - Himalayas trail, and live in first hand the experience of living at 4200 meters.

Alentejo Coast & Hills of Algarve bike tour, Portugal

We are working on our 2010 tours. Meanwhile, it´s nice to get emails like this one:

My wife and I, together with 3 other couples did a road bike tour with A2Z Adventures last year in Portugal. We are all avid cyclists and were impressed on a daily basis with the rides we did each day.

We have travelled extensively throughout the world and believe that our trip to Portugal was simply one of the best trips we ever did. The tour company was very professional and well organized. Each daily ride appeared to be hand-picked for us. The accommodations were a mix of good, great and really great. We were not disappointed with any of them.

Frankly, the entire trip beat our expectations. After a few days we gained trust with Pedro’s (one of the owners) ability to make dinner reservations and were treated to meal after meal of fantastic food and local culture. It sounds too much like a cliché but each day only got better. Pedro and our second guide were absolutely fantastic with our group. They truly made our trip exceptional as they took the time and effort to make sure we got the best meals in town, saw the best sites and drank the best cappuccino’s in all of Portugal.

Thank you Paul and all of you that traveled with A2Z Adventures in 2009.

You are the reason why we are here!

Young at 79!

October 12th, 2009

A great example!

Just finished a bike tour in Portugal. We had a group for Norway that included a very special woman - Louise Skog. Why special? Because being 79 years old she showed all of the younger people - including the guides - how cool you can be at that age. Never complained, and she had to walk many of the hills and face a day when it rained like crazy, always smiling and in a great mood. What a beautiful example! Long live Louise!

Grande Rota Aldeias Históricas Gary Fisher 2009

September 30th, 2009

Grande Rota Mountain Biking 2009

Decorreu de 6 a 12 de Setembro mais uma edição da Grande Rota das Aldeias Históricas Gary Fisher em BTT, organizada pela A2Z Adventures. A edição de 2009 contou com a presença de um total de 15 ciclistas de 4 nacionalidades, oriundos de Portugal, Brasil, Austrália e Estados Unidos.
Foram realizados os 540 km desta rota que une actualmente 10 das 12 Aldeias Históricas de Portugal em 7 etapas.

A grande novidade desta edição foi a utilização de novos traçados nas duas etapas finais entre Linhares da Beira, Piódão e Castelo Novo - estes traçados já fazem parte da remarcação prevista da GR22 no seu 10º aniversário, em 2010. Estas etapas foram unanimemente consideradas as mais duras e selectivas, com a passagem pelas Serras da Estrela, Açor e Gardunha a fazer “estragos”.

Confirmam-se assim grandes novidades para a edição 2010, que terá também datas disponiveis na primavera, com menos calor e campos floridos! E, já sabe, pode fazer a GR completa ou apenas as etapas à sua escolha.
