Key published itineraries include the full-day and half-day "Passeio 1 Dia - Monchique e lago da Bravura," featuring swims in the lagoon and a traditional mountain lunch; the full-day and half-day "Passeio - Costa Oeste" routes that explore Sagres, Cabo de S. Vicente and secret beaches with scenic cliff walks; the "Sunset Todo-O-Terreno na Costa Oeste," which reaches a cliff viewpoint about 130 meters high for sunset with local wine and snacks; and the "Wine Tasting Off-Road Tour," which combines vineyard tastings with off-road exploration.
