Algarve: Jeep Safari with Distillery Visit & Lunch

1. Algarve: Jeep Safari with Distillery Visit & Lunch

Get off the beaten track but straight into the heart of the Algarve on this Jeep safari adventure. Enjoy the fun and excitement of going up hills and down dales, crossing streams, and traversing meadows. Taste a local drink and savor a traditional lunch. After pickup, travel in a convoy of Jeeps through the spectacular scenery of an area almost untouched by time. Wind along earthen tracks to some of the most fascinating places in the Algarve. In tiny white-washed villages where time seems to stand still, you can see some of the old customs still in practice. Visit a small local distillery where the brave can taste “medronho” – a very potent local drink – and where you can see honey being produced in the old way. Afterward, enjoy lunch served in a typical restaurant before being dropped off at your original starting point.

What people are saying about Monchique

This was a fabulous tour to learn about some of the history of the Algarve region, explore some unique areas, like the thermal spa in Caldas, appreciate the amazing views on top of the mountain, and end the day enjoying some wonderful wine at a local winery. Antonio is an exceptional guide for this tour. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, willing to answer all questions, and is super friendly. We even stopped at a site along the way to observe the hundred nesting white storks. It was a truly enjoyable day and I would highly recommend this tour to appreciate more about the Algarve region.

I can heartily recommend the safari tour to everyone! The guide was very nice and funny - could also tell a lot about the Algarve and nature. It was nice to be able to see the Algarve off the beaten track.
