Hike the Algarve's Wild Side with Sunset Dinner — from Lagos

Most visitors experience only the Algarve’s sunny beaches and charming villages. This adventure reveals a completely different side of the region: the wild West Coast, part of the Costa Vicentina Natural Park, where soaring cliffs, hidden beaches, and remote trails create an unforgettable edge-of-the-world feeling. Every tour is personally designed and led by me, following routes I’ve spent years discovering and refining and which no other tours will bring you to. I keep groups small so we can explore at a relaxed pace, adapt to the day’s conditions, and visit places larger tours simply can’t reach. Along the way, I bring the landscape to life through local stories, natural history, and hands-on discovery. To finish, we share a homemade sunset tapas picnic with local wine. I prepare every meal myself because I believe great adventures deserve a memorable ending. This isn’t a big tour company following a script—it’s a personal experience I’ve been sharing and refining since 2014.
