Experience the authenticity of the Algarve as we travel through some of its most breathtaking landscapes in a comfortable air-conditioned van. This is not just a trip; it is a true cultural, gastronomic and natural immersion.
Departing from the Cubist city of Olhão, we climbed to the highest point of the region, the Cerro de São Miguel, where you can enjoy a fantastic view over the Ria Formosa, in a truly unforgettable 360º setting, accompanied by a drink of regional liqueurs and a selection of typical delicacies from our Barrocal region.
We continue towards Moncarapacho, passing through beautiful landscapes of the Algarve interior to the Viveiros Monterosa, where we will hold a commentary tour of different premium olive oils, getting to know up close the production process and the wealth of the so-called “liquid gold”.
The experience continues to Pego do Inferno, a wonderful waterfall surrounded by legends and lush nature, where you will have the opportunity to dive and cool off if you wish and the conditions allow it.
We then explored the historic center of Tavira, one of the most charming cities in the Algarve, where we visited the Castle of Tavira, walked along its iconic Roman bridges, discovered historical churches, and immersed ourselves in the cultural wealth of this millennial city.
We continue along the salt flats route, a unique scenery where we will try to observe flamingos and other migratory birds — an experience always special, although dependent on natural conditions and the time of year.
Finally, we pass through the picturesque fishing village of Santa Luzia, known as the octopus capital, where you can enjoy its traditional atmosphere and receive local recommendations before returning.
With passionate bilingual guides and a personalized pace, we guarantee an experience rich in stories, landscapes, and traditions that reveal the true essence of the Algarve — away from conventional tourist routes.
