25 years
SINCE 1998
… since 1998.
What we experience is what shapes and transforms us.
Over the almost 25 years of the project Horizontes, all our events, whether successful or not, we always shape them for one purpose: to offer unique and untold experiences in places of high human, historical and/or natural value. In this time and space we want you to experience new aromas, new flavors, to get to know other people and cities. History, customs, traditions and ethnography are important parts of this Sports Tourism or “Maratourism” project
In this ¼ century, we have already climbed to the highest point in Portugal, Serra da Estrela, we have crossed Portugal from north to south, from east to west or just Beira Baixa. We have already ventured through the historic town of Sintra, Ericeira and since 2015 we have headed to Brazil to cross the longest beach in the world, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
There are more than 100 events organized and many friends around the world.
