Solo il meglio
I dettagli che fanno il viaggio: una sosta in più, un angolo segreto… Scegliamo solo il meglio. Valutazione: 8,3/10
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.
