About this experience
Enjoy an exclusive backcountry experience between the wild hills and the Algarve countryside. Admire the cultures of oranges, centuries-old olive trees and majestic carob trees that will decorate you throughout this getaway. Discover with 2 local guides authentic white villages and unsuspected beauties that only the locals know. You can cool off in the natural spring pool or the beautiful waterfall (depending on the season) if you wish. You will visit an Algarvian hamlet where time seems to have stopped before you are guided through the paths that wind through the cork oaks. Finally, share a moment of sharing with Florian and Morgan near an old windmill while contemplating a magnificent 360° panorama of the mountains. Change of scenery guaranteed!
