Local tip
The drivers/ guides are great and really make the day. Their local knowledge is extensive - and they're great fun too.

The Algarve Jeep Safari  by Portitours is guaranteed to be one of your best days out in the Algarve. It's fun, informative and takes you to parts of the Algarve that you would never find on your own. Highly recommended.

The interior of this beautiful region is dotted with winding earthen tracks and tiny villages that allow you glimpses of a style and pace of life that is fast disappearing. Travelling in a convoy of 4 X 4 jeeps, you leave the coastal resorts behind and explore the white-washed villages, orange and lemon orchards and eucalyptus groves in the countryside around Monchique and Alte.
