About this experience
Discover the authentic Algarve aboard a small-group 4x4 open-roof adventure far from the crowds. Explore hidden off-road trails, observe wild flamingos, visit traditional salt pans, discover Portugal's cork heritage and enjoy organic local tastings while experiencing regenerative and transformational travel that supports local communities and preserves the Algarve's unique heritage.
Follow the Guadiana River towards historic Castro Marim, where you'll admire panoramic views from the Revelim over the medieval castle, river and sparkling salt pans. Learn how sea salt and Flor de Sal are still harvested by hand before watching wild flamingos in the Castro Marim Nature Reserve.
Continue to Quinta da Fornalha Organic Farm for regional tastings, then venture off-road through cork oak forests, Beliche Dam, Odeleite Reservoir and the peaceful hills of Almada d'Ouro, discovering the Algarve's authentic landscapes, traditions and wildlife along the way.
