About this tour

About this tour

Discover a different side of the Algarve on a full-day tour from Olhão, combining local culture, traditional villages, nature and regional flavours. Travel in a comfortable  van and explore the inland Algarve at a relaxed pace, away from the busiest tourist areas.

The experience starts at Olhão Marina Center, from where we head inland for our first stop at a local cork factory and shop. Here you can discover more about cork, one of Portugal’s most traditional products, see how it is worked and visit the local shop.

We then continue to Loulé, where you will have time to explore the historic centre, walk through its traditional streets and discover some of the town’s most characteristic places, including the market and castle area.

From Loulé, we travel to Fonte Grande, a peaceful natural area surrounded by trees and fresh water. It is a great place to relax and, during the warmer months, enjoy the water.

The tour continues to Alte, one of the Algarve’s most traditional villages. Here you will have some free time to explore the village at your own pace, have a coffee or simply enjoy the local atmosphere.

Our last stop is Queda do Vigário, a natural waterfall surrounded by the Algarve countryside. There will be time to enjoy the area, take photos and relax before starting the journey back.

During the experience, there will also be an opportunity to taste regional products and traditional Algarve liqueurs.

After visiting Queda do Vigário, we return to Olhão, where the tour finishes at Marina Center.

This is a relaxed way to discover the Algarve beyond the coast, with a mix of local culture, villages and nature.
