What to expect

Away from the coastal resort towns, the Algarve is still a very rural and rugged region. Explore its winding dusty trails and sleepy villages on this off-road 4x4 adventure. You can choose either a full-day excursion, or one that takes just an afternoon.

As the sea and the larger buildings recede in your rear-view mirror, you'll be struck by how quickly you're out in the sparsely populated and beautifully remote countryside. Travelling in convoy, your rugged 4x4 will let you explore the hidden heart of the Algarve, which isn't accessible to other vehicles.

Drink in the ever-changing scenery as you trundle down dirt tracks and descend into secret valleys, rising up again to traverse gorgeous meadows. You'll pass through quaint and tiny villages, well off the beaten track – where the simple ways of life of a seemingly bygone era are still the norm. You'll visit a small distillery where the locals brew their beloved medronho liqueur, and also gain insight into honey being made in the traditional way. The day is perfectly book-ended with a local meal – with drinks included.

Off-road buggy tour of the Algarve with traditional farm visit

Off-road buggy tour of the Algarve with traditional farm visit

Buckle up for a three-hour off-road buggy tour around the Algarve's unspoilt countryside, where adventure awaits nature-lovers and thrillseekers alike. You'll visit a local tea farm for tastings and head to Alte, a pocket-sized Algarve village that sits in a valley overlooked by the Serra do Caldeirao mountains. Carla, a local guide, says, “it's these peaks that feed the star attractions of Alte, its natural springs, Fonte Grande and Fonte Pequena. You'll drive over hills clad with olive groves to look at the springs, as well as soak up the quintessential Portuguese charm of the town.”You'll set off into the landscapes of the Algarve in your two-seater buggy, with your professional guide revving alongside you. Catch your breath at your first stop, the Quinta Vermelha tea farm. This 200-year-old estate showcases the natural beauty of the Algarve, as well as its produce. There are organic jams to taste, made with fruits from the orchards, and a farm shop that's brimming with homegrown herbal teas, oils and vinegars. Next, kick up some dust as you power towards Alte. While it's got the classic terracotta-topped whitewashed houses you may expect for a rural town in the Algarve, this place has a modern twist. Down almost every cobbled street, you'll find street art and colourful murals, adding another dimension to this otherwise rustic retreat. Climb high above the town and you'll find that the best artist around here is Mother Nature, providing views that stretch out beyond the rolling hills and down to Alte's waterfalls and natural pools.
