Today’s programme includes an exciting buggy tour that takes you along the beautiful coastline and through the fascinating countryside. An experience not to be missed!
Start in Silves
The tour begins near Silves, a town with a rich historical heritage known for its Moorish castle. Before jumping into your buggy, take a moment to admire the cobbled streets and impressive architecture. The contrast between the old walls and modern life is simply unique.
Once you have familiarised yourself with your buggy, you start your journey along the Rio Arade. The gentle waves of the river reflect the sun as you drive along the winding roads. Here you can enjoy the impressive panorama of the surrounding hills and vineyards.
Along the salt fields and fishing harbour
The route continues to the impressive salt fields of Estombar. Sea salt is traditionally harvested here and the shimmering white crystals are a fascinating sight. The scent of salt and the sounds of nature accompany you as you drive through this unique environment.
After visiting the salt fields, you will head to the fishing harbour of Portimão. Here you have the opportunity to admire the colourful variety of fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. The fresh catches of the day are landed here and you can watch the fishermen at work. In the distance, you can see the old town of Portimão, whose historic buildings give you an idea of the rich history of the region. A short stop gives you the opportunity to take some wonderful photos before continuing on.
View of Ferragudo and Praia da Mola
From Portimão, you continue your journey towards Ferragudo. The view of the charming village with its white houses and colourful windows is simply enchanting. The closer you get, the more you are impressed by the backdrop of the Atlantic, which stretches majestically behind Ferragudo.
You then stop at the impressive Praia da Mola, a breathtaking bay surrounded by steep cliffs. Here you can watch the clear waters of the sea as the waves gently lap against the sandy beach. A perfect place for a short break to enjoy the view and unwind.
Via Carvoeiro and Algar Seco
After resting, continue towards Carvoeiro, a popular destination for travellers. The small, picturesque beaches and warm atmosphere attract visitors time and time again. You will be immediately enchanted by the flair of the town. On a short tour of the city, you can discover the colourful shops and pavement cafés that line the streets.
A highlight of the tour is the stop at Algar Seco, an impressive stretch of coastline whose impressive rock formations show you the breathtaking power of nature. Here you can explore the dramatic cliffs and caves, which are perfect for a few souvenir photos. The view of the turquoise-coloured water is simply stunning.
Detour to Praia Carvallo
Another stop takes you to Praia Carvallo, a less crowded beach that is perfect for a relaxing moment on the sand. Let the waves roll over your feet as you admire the sunset over the Atlantic. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of the Algarve and experience unspoilt nature.
Off-road adventure through the rice fields
The last part of your tour takes you back through the rice fields. An exciting off-road adventure awaits you here! The dirt tracks wind their way through the lush green fields and you’ll feel the adrenaline rush as you drive over the small hills and through the muddy patches. The buggy jumps and bounces, while at the same time you experience the peace and seclusion of nature, far away from the busy tourist centres.
Return to Silves
You finally reach Silves again, filled with unforgettable impressions and adventures.
