Itinerary

The untamed beauty of southern Portugal awaits on Walking Portugal’s Wild Algarve, an 8-day trekking adventure along the renowned Rota Vicentina. Ideal for experienced hikers, this guided small group tour leads you from the spa town of Monchique through whitewashed villages, across dramatic cliffs, and to the windswept beaches of Sagres. Walk quiet coastal trails once used by locals to reach hidden coves and fishing spots, all while enjoying the invigorating Atlantic breezes and tranquil landscapes. The unique highlight of this tour is access to some of Europe’s last-remaining undeveloped shorelines, making it a true escape for those seeking nature, solitude, and scenic splendor in one memorable trip.

day 1Adventure starts in the thermal spa town of Monchique

This trip starts in Monchique in the heart of the Algarve, approximately a one-hour drive from Faro. This small town is a quiet, peaceful place but the central square has a welcoming atmosphere with fountains and flowers. We stay in the Caldas de Monchique area, home to alkaline thermal springs that have been popular since Roman times.
Say olá to your leader and fellow travellers around 6pm, where we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventure ahead.
Your leader will ensure a big welcome by arranging a group dinner at a local restaurant for your first taste of Portuguese hospitality.
Want to explore the Algarve further? Additional pre-tour hotel nights are bookable through your sales representative.

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.
