About this activity
This experience transforms the journey from Lisbon to the Algarve into a true exploration of Portugal’s wild southwest coast. Instead of following the fast highway, you travel through the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park, one of the most protected and unspoiled regions in Europe, where dramatic cliffs, hidden beaches, and traditional villages still define daily life.
Along the way, you will visit places that most travelers never see, including the charming riverside town of Vila Nova de Milfontes, the panoramic Milfontes Lighthouse, the historic Aljezur Castle, and the spectacular Arrifana Beach with its rugged Atlantic scenery. Each stop offers a different perspective of Portugal — from medieval history and fishing villages to wild coastal landscapes.
