The Ponta da Piedade in Lagos is possibly one of the most beautiful natural scenery of the Algarve coast. The coast is formed by dense corroded cliffs, which have been carved in rocky pillars, natural tunnels and hidden caves.
The irregularly deformed sandstone cliffs stand in stark contrast to the peaceful turquoise and green deep waters, and the whole region is simply breathtaking.
To observe the cliffs from the sea, visitors can take part in the organized and realized excursions in Catamaran and later with our Kayaks, that navigate through the labyrinth of these unique formations in a ecologic way.
