Overview

Embark on an intimate adventure through the authentic Algarve, far from the bustling crowds. Aboard a small-group 4x4 open-roof vehicle, you'll traverse hidden off-road trails, encounter wild flamingos, visit traditional salt pans, and delve into Portugal's cork heritage. Along the way, savour organic local tastings that will tantalise your taste buds.

Your journey begins along the Guadiana River, leading you to the historic village of Castro Marim. Here, you'll be captivated by the panoramic views from the Revelim, which overlooks a medieval castle, the river, and surrounding salt pans. Learn about the age-old methods still used today to harvest sea salt and the renowned Flor de Sal. Then, observe wild flamingos in their natural habitat within the protected wetlands of the Castro Marim Nature Reserve.

The adventure continues at Quinta da Fornalha, a family-run organic farm. Here, you'll sample homemade jams and herb-infused olive oil among other regional delicacies while gaining insights into regenerative farming practices. The journey then takes an off-road turn through the Algarve countryside, with stops at Beliche Dam, Odeleite Reservoir and majestic cork oak trees where you'll learn about Portugal's sustainable cork harvesting tradition. You'll pass through the authentic village of Odeleite and the serene hills of Almada d'Ouro before returning home.
