From Family Vacations to Bespoke Journey
Our story began just like yours
As a family coming together during unforgettable vacations across Portugal and Canada. Year after year, these holidays became a tapestry of shared memories—discovering hidden coastal paths, sharing long dinners, and falling in love with the heritage of both countries.
Inspired by our own family travels, we decided to open the doors to our private world. Northern Roots Travel was created to share these secret 'corners' (cantinhos), unique local stories, and the absolute best of Portugal with you. We don't just plan itineraries; we invite you into the traditions, landscapes, and hidden gems that our family has cherished for generations
