About This Adventure

Embark on a unique adventure through the hidden, rural side of the Algarve! This exclusive tour takes you off the beaten path in a 4x4, revealing breathtaking viewpoints and secret trails. Enjoy a refreshing swim, visit a charming village, and marvel at stunning landscapes from the highest peaks. Experience Algarve like never before!

Este passeio foi especialmente concebido para aqueles que querem descobrir sem pressas um lado mais alternativo do Algarve.

Para muitas pessoas, o Algarve é conhecido pelas suas belas praias! Mas enganam-se aqueles que pensam que o Algarve é só praias bonitas.

Neste tour, damos a conhecer uma vertente muito rural e escondida, que passa despercebida à maioria dos visitantes. Devido ao nosso ADN exploratório, grande parte do percurso é feito em todo-o-terreno, por caminhos muito secretos, numa natureza muito verde, com miradouros verdadeiramente únicos na região algarvia.
