Description

Embark into the paradise of the Algarve Coast. Departing from Faro in a comfortable van equipped with air conditioning and karaoke microphone, enjoy a peaceful and exciting journey to the municipality of Lagoa, where the scenery of this adventure awaits. The first stop is Benagil, home to one of the most famous caves in the world, the extraordinary Algar de Benagil or Benagil Cave. The lush views of the cliffs, beach, and caves of the area will make an invitation to happiness. We will start our adventure taking a short walk to Benagil's viewpoint, passing through a small fishing village. Immerse yourself in the culture and history of the area. After enjoying the view from the viewpoint, we will descend to visit Benagil Beach and prepare for HIKING on the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail. During the hike between Benagil and Praia da Marinha along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, your guide will inform you about interesting facts and aspects about the fauna, flora and geology of the region. The views from the top of Benagil Cave, Praia da Corredoura, The Gigante, Praia da Mesquita and Praia da Marinha will leave you breathless. You will visit incredible sites such as Elephant Rock, the Mini Canyon and the Secret Heart of the Seven Valleys. After the hike, you will have free time to refresh and relax at one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Marinha Beach. The crystal-clear waters and golden sands will make a brilliant invitation to explore this beauty. Ask your guide about the secret spots! The Lunch break takes place during free time (read the recommendations in the 'Know Before You Go' section). At Algar Seco, the galleries and caves carved into the limestone rock will amaze you. The legends about this natural monument will take you on a journey through the beginnings of Portugal. The fossils embedded in the rocky coast will convince you that nature is sovereign. To finish, a cliff jump into the deep waters of the North Atlantic will provide a farewell full of adrenaline and excitement. When you return to Faro, you will have the feeling of having lived in a movie.
