Without a doubt the best activity that can be done in Portimao

It was an incredible experience to take this walk along the Arade River, the day we did it we went alone, it was like a private tour They contacted us by phone to tell us the exact point of departure and there were two very good professionals waiting for us, the guide and the one who carried the motor boat. The walk along the river was spectacular, our guide spoke to us carefully about the fauna, the flora, how the tides model the river and some of the buildings and places of the river Being like a private tour, we were able to stop at the points we wanted and also when we arrived at the town of Silves, enjoy it for as long as we wanted.
