We hiked the Seven Hanging Valley trail, “Sete Vales Suspensos” which is a cliffside trail covering the seven different scenic coves. This guided walk took us through the breathtaking cliff tops of the Algarve. We were picked up at our hotel and drove to the starting point of our Algarve hiking experience through the trails with a local guide. The Seven Hanging Valley hike was an easy two-hour hike that stops at the iconic Alfanzina lighthouse and the beautiful beaches.
These hikes are offered every Sunday.
