Guided tour:

Panoramic tour in the nature reserve

Panorama tour through the nature reserve

This journey takes you through the original nature reserve of “Ribeira de Algibre” (Europa SIC 2000). The former agricultural land is full of old stone walls reclaimed by nature. They now serve as the perfect habitat for local wildlife.

Our trail takes us along the small river “Ribeira de Algibre”, which bursts with life and has an astonishing array of plants and animals. You can find all of Portugal’s traditional fruit and plants, such as carob, olives, almonds and figs. In the untouched nature, a very rare Orchid also blooms.

The excursion continues onto the tallest point, the “Pico de Espargal”. When the sky is clear you can see up to 50km of the Algarve. A picturesque place for a delicious picnic.

A unique tour for anyone who loves nature.
