We offer guided walks through unspoiled beautiful nature accompanied by the happiest donkeys in the Algarve.

Unlike horses, it is possible to ride donkeys without any prior training. The laidback nature of the animals allows riders from any level to immediately enjoy a relaxing hike or if you prefer to just walk alongside, it’s up to you.

Take a break from all stresses, travel back in time with us for a few hours and stroll through the beautiful countryside on a donkey’s back.

The beautiful “Quinta de Burro de Paderne” is located in the middle of a nature reserve and will allow you to experience a truly unforgettable time in the unspoiled nature.

We invite you to come and enjoy a donkey ride, relax, view nature and see unexplored historic monuments.
