Adventure yourself on an off-road journey through the Alentejo's "montado" (cork oak forest)! We offer you an option of driving tour, that will give you a wonderful overview of the forest as you plough through the dirt tracks of the farm. For those who prefer a bit more comfort and escape from the elements, we also offer tours in a 4*4 air conditioned Nissan Terrano. Your expert guides will stop at regular intervals to show you the highlights and explain in detail what makes the cork forest such an important and diverse ecosystem.
While the tour is on a vehicle, walking on uneven terrain is common at stops, so sturdy shoes are recommended.
