The western Algarve offers a glorious mix of coastal, mountain and inland landscapes. The varied geology produces a rich diversity of scenery from granite mountains to dramatic limestone escarpments and impressive red sea cliffs. Trails take you through sleepy villages, past waterways and wildlife. 

The tour is based in Portimão, a charming town on the banks of the River Arade, known for its laid-back and tranquil atmosphere. Nearby, Praia da Rocha stands as one of the most picturesque and renowned beach resorts in the Algarve.
