Wild Southwest Coast

• Briefing
• Dinner : included in guided tours.
• Accomodation : at HS Hotel.

We start with a beautiful river crossing on a small boat, enjoying the wonderful view over the village as we get away from it. Then we will be walking along the Coast.
The day has a lot of variety, mixing inland stretches with very diversified geologic formations, agriculture crops and grazing animals.
There are 2 long beaches where you can walk instead of following the trail.
The cliffs keep surprising us!
In April and May, the flowers dot the landscape with many different colours and we keep stopping for pictures!

Almograve beach will set the beginning of the day’s walk just until the fishing port. Then some sand dunes will wait for you, challenging your determination along beautiful scenery. The sand changes colours and sometimes you feel like walking along a desert. Storks and other wild life keeps you company and their sounds will briefly interrupt your thoughts every once in a while. In season watch their babies in the nests that are so close to you that a zoom lenses is sometimes unnecessary! This is the only place in the world where the storks build their nests on rocky islets sticking out of the ocean. From cape Sardão until the end of the day the ancient ever-changing coastline will be the treat of the day. 4 kms always walking along the Coast.
