The Algarve is more than just beautiful beaches.

If you want something new and exciting and want to keep in touch with nature join us on a walking tour through some of the most beautiful sights in the Algarve in the one and only 7 Hanging valleys trail and after that hop on board in a cruise to visit the famous Benagil caves.

This hiking trip was elected as one of the best in Europe. It runs from Praia da Marinha in the east to Praia de Vale Centeanes in the west with stops in Alfanzina lighthouse, at the Benagil and Carvalho beaches and many others.

Walk on the top coastal cliffs and be amazed by the sculpted shapes and beautiful ocher.

In that area the dense juniper and mastic is the perfect place for shelters of rabbits, mongooses, foxes and many species of butterflies. During the spring, all that leafage turns into flowers, making the environment colorful and perfumed.
