Along the trip on the stunning Algarve coast, you’re about to experience the inside of fascinating caves, where rock formations, secret beaches, plays of colour and contact with the ocean will bind you together for ever in a set of indescribable, unique sensations, only possible when you’re this close to nature.

We highlight the Arade river, which rises in the Serra do Caldeirão and flows into the Atlantic Ocean at Portimão, east of Praia da Rocha. We can see the picturesque fishing village of Ferragudo (among the 20 most beautiful in the country) and the Fort of São João do Arade, also known as Ferragudo Castle, built in the 19th century.

On leaving the harbour mouth, on the left-hand side, we can see the Ponta do Altar lighthouse, commonly known as (Ferragudo and Portimão Lighthouse), standing 32m tall.

Some white-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters such as the following: Praia da Rocha; Praia Grande; Pintadinho; Caneiros; Afurada; Paraíso; Carvoeiro (considered the most beautiful beach in Europe); Vale de Covo; Carvalho;
Benagil; a beach that gives its name to the most famous cave in the world, formed by erosion around 20 million years ago, officially named: Algar-de-Benagil; Corredoura and Praia da Marinha (currently among the 100 most beautiful beaches in the world and known for its imposing Marinha Arches). On the hottest days, we offer you the chance to feel the thrill of diving into the sea, with breathtaking scenery as a backdrop.
