Adventurous sunset lovers who want sand between their toes, salt in their hair and wine in their belly.<\/strong><\/p>\n No trip to Portugal is complete without watching the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. The natural beauty of our country\u2019s coastline is breathtaking on its own, but everything\u2019s better with delicious wine and food. So come with us to watch the sky turn warm shades of gold with sand between your toes, salty hair, wine in one hand and a sweet soundtrack adding to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll pick you up in one of our legendary convertible jeeps and take a brief look at historic Sintra\u2019s best sights and palaces before hitting our favourite forest tracks. These off-road, unmarked trails pop out on the coastline where we\u2019ll see the westernmost point of Europe \u2013 the incredible cliffs of Cabo da Roca \u2013 and our sunset journey begins.<\/p>\n Our secret beach is a short hike away. The dirt hiking trail twists and turns along a steep route but it\u2019s only about half an hour to get down to the sand. Make sure you bring proper shoes for this part! Flip flops\/thongs\/jandals\/foot wedgies (or whatever you call those rubber-toe-shoes in your country) won\u2019t make the cut.<\/p>\n Once we reach the soft, golden sand \u2013 just relax. We\u2019ll set up a picnic spread of traditional Portuguese \u201cpetiscos\u201d (that\u2019s our word for tapas) stacked full of cheese, chouri\u00e7o (chorizo), bread and other snacks. You can swim in the salty ocean, kick a ball on the sand, or just sit back with a few glasses of local wine and appreciate the stunning sunset. With stunning cliffs and rock formations, you might have 99 problems, but a beach ain\u2019t one.<\/p>\n This is our most popular hiking experience for good reason. In one afternoon you can enjoy the best of Portugal\u2019s stunning coastline, taste local Portuguese food and wine and go off-road in Sintra\u2019s mysterious forests. Since it is only a half day, you can combine it with one of our morning cultural journeys, which explore UNESCO World Heritage Sintra palaces and more.<\/p>\n Stop one<\/strong> Pick up location:<\/strong> Portela de Sintra train station Ages 12+ \u2022 5 hours \u2022 Hiking and Beach Picnic<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43057,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[1493,1503,497,539,921,895,777,210],"attraction-categ":[],"localidade":[166],"content-type":[1078],"grupo-de-experiencias":[1349,1350],"experiencia-tipo":[157],"experience-update":[1343],"gestao":[],"regioes_turisticas_term":[223],"concelho":[],"ctg-rating":[],"class_list":["post-32493","experiencia","type-experiencia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-private","tag-photography-tour","tag-boat-tour","tag-food-tour","tag-hiking","tag-sightseeing-tour","tag-train","tag-wine","localidade-sintra","content-type-experience","grupo-de-experiencias-nature-adventure","grupo-de-experiencias-gastronomy-wine","experiencia-tipo-jeep","experience-update-new","regioes_turisticas_term-lisbon-and-surroundings"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
