THE CAMINO PORTUGUÉS — IN GOOD COMPANY
A curated European walking experience
Hosted by Jigsaw Performance
THE CAMINO PORTUGUÉS — IN GOOD COMPANY
Step away.
Walk together.
Return clearer.
A luxurious walking pilgrimage in Portugal for women ready to step away from daily responsibility, walk together in beautiful company, and return home more connected and grounded.
Limited to 12 women.
You Deserve This Experience
There comes a point when you choose something deliberately — not because you're overwhelmed, but because you value how you spend your time.
You’ve built a full life. You carry responsibility with steadiness and care. And now, perhaps, you feel ready to step away for a time.
This retreat is a thoughtfully curated walking pilgrimage along the Camino Portugués in Portugal, designed for women who appreciate shared experience, unhurried conversation, and exceptional attention to detail.
Two beautiful hotel bases anchor the journey, allowing you to settle in rather than move constantly. Daily routes are selected for both scenery and flow. An experienced in-country host oversees the experience, attending to each detail so you can remain fully present.
Nothing is rushed. Nothing is overlooked.
You are free to arrive and be immersed in the rhythm of the days.
To walk with intention.
To connect without agenda.
To return clearer.
Clarity matters.
Connection is what stays.
This retreat was created to offer something more enduring than a single journey.
We believe meaningful connection develops gradually — through time spent walking side by side, through shared meals, through conversations that unfold without urgency. Not through performance or pressure, but through presence.
The structure of this retreat is intentional. Gathering locally before we travel allows relationships to begin forming long before we arrive in Portugal. Walking the Camino together deepens those connections naturally. Returning home, the circle continues — not as a memory, but as something ongoing.
Travel often brings remarkable encounters that fade once we return to our routines.
We wanted to create something different.
Not simply a pilgrimage —
but a community that moves forward together.
Why We Created This Retreat
Twelve Days. Fully Lived.
Long enough to settle into the rhythm of the Camino. Long enough for connection to deepen — and for clarity to take hold.
01
Arrival & Closing Days
Time to arrive fully.
Time to reflect.
Time to depart unhurried.
The journey is intentionally bookended with space — to settle in, to connect, and to close with clarity.
02
7 Days of Guided Walking
A curated stretch of the Camino, walked at a steady, considered pace.
Private transfers and thoughtfully selected routes allow you to focus on the experience rather than the logistics.
03
Shared Meals & Cultural Experiences
Meals are shared daily, grounding the rhythm of the journey.
Cultural experiences unfold along the way — intimate, locally rooted encounters that honour place and contribute meaningfully to the communities who host us.
04
Two Eco-Luxury Hotel Bases
We stay in two exceptional hotels, returning each evening to the same room.
Comfort, stability, and restoration are woven into the journey.
05
Thoughtful Support
An experienced in-country travel partner attends to the logistics of each day.
Your retreat host holds the space for connection — offering light guidance so conversations deepen naturally.
Everything is quietly tended to.
Who This Is For
This retreat is designed for women who have built full lives — and are now choosing how they want to invest their time.
You may have led professionally, raised a family, built something meaningful, or contributed deeply within your community. You bring experience. Perspective. Stories earned through living.
You are no longer interested in collecting experiences for their own sake. You are drawn to depth — to conversations that matter, to places that stay with you, to people who expand your thinking.
A small, intentionally assembled group feels right. You value being in the company of capable, curious women who have something distinctive to offer — and who are equally interested in what others bring.
You are excited by the Camino — not as spectacle, but as a setting. A place where movement creates space for reflection, and shared experience builds something lasting.
You appreciate thoughtful design and expert curation. You understand that when the logistics are handled well, your energy can be directed toward connection.
You are open. Engaged. Willing to participate — not simply observe.
There will be laughter — because when thoughtful, capable women gather without hurry, ease and humor follow naturally.
This experience is for women who want more than a trip. It is for those who want to be part of a circle of accomplished, generous women — and who are ready to invest in something that continues long after the journey ends.
The Rhythm Of The Journey
Mornings begin unhurried.
Breakfast together.
A considered route.
A steady departure.
The path unfolds through coast, woodland, and stone villages shaped by centuries of passage.
There is space to walk beside someone.
And space to walk alone.
Along the way, carefully curated cultural experiences are woven into the days — intimate encounters with local makers, historians, and hosts.
Nothing performative. Nothing extractive. Each experience chosen to honour place, support the local economy, and reflect the living culture of Portugal.
Midday brings arrival.
Lunch.
Ease.
Laughter that needs no prompting.
Evenings return you to the same hotel base — comfort and familiarity anchoring the rhythm of the journey.
Dinners stretch. Conversations deepen. Insight and humor move easily between them.
The experience is thoughtfully supported — never over-directed. Logistics are handled seamlessly. Dialogue is gently held. The days feel spacious, but intentional.
And over twelve days, something steadies.
You listen differently.
You think more clearly.
You return changed — quietly, but unmistakably.
In The Right Hands
This experience is designed to feel effortless — because it is held by women who know how to do this well.
From the logistics on the ground to the quieter work of shaping connection, you will be supported with professionalism, discernment, and care throughout the journey.
