This small-group experience ensures a relaxed pace, personalized attention, and plenty of opportunities for photos, questions, and meaningful connection with the surroundings.

Begin your hike at Praia da Marinha, one of the world's top 100 beaches according to the Michelin Guide.
Follow a rocky path along the coast, passing through ravines and seven hanging valleys.

Admire the karst landscape, with its arches, caves, and sinkholes. Stop at Benagil Beach, once home to a fishing community, and now a popular spot for visiting sea caves.

Continue on to Praia do Carvalho, where you can enter the sandy beach via a tunnel carved into the soft limestone. Look for sea shells embedded in the rock and spot the dwarf palm tree, the only European palm tree, and the black-headed warbler, a small bird typical of the region.

Pass by the Alfanzina Lighthouse, surrounded by a forest of Aleppo pine, one of the few trees that thrive in this stony and arid land. The pine forests serve as ecological islands for birds like tits, blackbirds, and Galician owls, and the dense vegetation provides a habitat for animals such as rabbits, pythons, and foxes.
