The "Walking Portugal's Wild Algarve" tour starts from Alentejo and ends in Sagres. It is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 8 days taking you through Cabo Sardão, Algarve, Alentejo and 5 other destinations in Portugal. "Walking Portugal's Wild Algarve" is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, meals and others.
Passing wild beaches, whitewashed villages and towering cliffs, the Rota Vicentina is one of the great hiking routes in Europe. We’ve handpicked the very best walks from this extensive network, visiting some of the few remaining undeveloped shores of the Algarve. The adventure starts in picturesque Monchique, where medicinal waters and a thermal spa make the town an ideal place to ease into the trip. Transferring to the coast, we walk on quiet cliff trails (used by local people to access the beaches and best fishing spots) and end in the town of Sagres. The refreshing coastal breezes and inviting landscape make walking in this remote corner of Europe truly reinvigorating.
