This action-packed experience blends panoramic viewpoints, hidden trails, and cultural discoveries for a memorable day immersed in nature. Miguel, one of our local guides, says, “Along this route, you'll see how the mountains, villages and traditions of the Algarve connect.”

Starting in Albufeira, you'll head to the Picota viewpoint for sweeping views over the Algarvian coast. The journey continues along exciting off-road trails through the countryside, where your guide explains the importance of cork oak forests and their traditional uses. You'll then visit the Salir Museum Centre to explore the village's rich history and cultural heritage.

After a morning of adventure, enjoy free time for lunch in Alte, a charming village known for its whitewashed houses and peaceful atmosphere. Back on the road, you'll climb through rolling hills to a local distillery to taste Medronho and other regional products. The tour ends with a relaxing visit to the iconic Fonte d'Alte and scenic mountain viewpoints, offering a tranquil finale far from the crowds.

    Le circuit en pleine nature est très sympa. Le petit.village de Alte est très typique (authentique). La halte avec dégustation chez producteur très appréciable. La restaurant du midi est dans la même veine. Très copieux et cuisine familiale portugaise au top. L'investissement du guide dans cette randonnée est tout aussi appréciable. Nous avons appris beaucoup de choses très intéressantes sur la flore notamment. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés.
