LONDON (3 August 2023) — The September issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) is out now, and the cover story this month focuses on active adventures in Portugal. There’s a wild side to the country that remains largely under the radar, be it swimming beneath the Milky Way in Alentejo, sleeping in a national park or surfing Atlantic breakers on the coast.

This issue also comes with a free guide to the Indian Ocean. From Mauritius’s fusion cuisine to Sri Lanka’s new long-distance hiking trail and the Maldives’ residential islands, the 100-page guide proves it pays to explore when it comes to the beguiling region.
