The Algarve, located in the southern part of Portugal, is well-known to sun-seekers. Pleasant temperatures and beautiful surroundings ensure crowded beaches. However, besides beach relaxation, the region also offers magnificent hiking opportunities.

You won't encounter popular beach resorts like Faro and Albufeira on this journey, but you will have the chance to explore serene villages, where you can unwind after a day of hiking. Walking the Via Algarviana is an experience in itself. As mentioned earlier, you'll be strolling through the inland of the Algarve, where it's serene and tranquil. You can let your thoughts roam freely, and along the way, your senses will be awakened by the scents and colors of the surroundings.

During this package, you will hike five stages of the Via Algarviana and you will get to know the Algarve much better along the way.
