Discover the perfect blend of nature, history, and adventure in this unique 3-hour experience.
Embark on a Jeep tour through the stunning Forest Perimeter of Conceição de Tavira, also known as Santa Rita Woods, followed by a peaceful horseback ride at Quinta Alvisquer.
This journey invites you to reconnect with nature while exploring one of the Algarve’s most scenic and biodiverse landscapes.
Covering nearly 450 hectares, this forest area was once communal land used by nearby villages for grazing and gathering resources.
Since the first afforestation plan in 1916, it has grown into a lush ecosystem of diverse species.
You’ll find:
🌲 Stone Pines (Pinus pinea) and Eucalyptus (with over 17 varieties)
🌳 Acacias, Holm Oaks (Quercus rotundifolia), and Cork Oaks (Quercus suber)
🌿 Wild Olive and Carob Trees adding to the Mediterranean charm
In spring, the forest bursts into color with heather, lavender, and gorse, painting the landscape in purple and gold tones. A paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike.
This forest area includes 40 hectares dedicated to outdoor activities, featuring a small community of deer and a bird observatory near a tranquil pond, restored in 2012.
Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere as you explore by Jeep, surrounded by the sounds and scents of Algarve’s wild nature.
After the Jeep exploration, continue your adventure at Quinta Alvisquer, a 40-hectare estate filled with cultivated fields and natural beauty.
Here, under the guidance of António, you’ll enjoy a relaxing horseback ride through the countryside. Learn about the land, the horses, and the Algarve’s rural traditions.
This activity is suitable for all levels! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, you’ll feel at ease and connected with the surroundings.
