The long path to Cabo São Vicente

Hiking Tour Portugal

 This is when your adventure begins...
On this program you will walk through the Natural Park of Vicentine Coast where you can find different types of flora and fauna, and the most beautiful beaches and views!
To this you add the local gastronomy, the excellent Portuguese wines, and extremely comfortable rural accommodation. 

The last trail of this program catches a little bit of the Algarve coast, and so you will get to see a completely different landscape, but as breath taking as the first ones!
