Our Story!

How it all began?

Arnaldo Guedes

Arnaldo Guedes is the founder and soul of asviagens. A Portuguese brand that aims to inspire everyone to step out of their comfort zone and explore the world. His passion for adventure began in August 2003, on a first canoe trip along the Zêzere river, from then on, he became addicted to traveling independently and without support and it became almost a way of life.

Today, with more than two decades of unique experiences, "arny" continues to share his passion for adventure through asviagens, offering expeditions that combine exploration, culture and the freedom to discover the world in your own way.
