PORTUGAL’S COASTAL ALGARVE
BEACH AND COASTAL WALKING TOUR
September 14-21, 2024
The beaches and coastline of Portugal’s Algarve region on the west coast of the country are some of the most beautiful in the world and have become one of the most sought after destinations for anyone seeking to witness breathtaking and dramatic coastal scenery.
Go beyond the Algarve and explore the most pristine coastal trails in Portugal on this guided tour of coastal and beach walks, providing the most stunning vistas along Portugal’s Algarve coastline.
Passing wild beaches, whitewashed villages and towering cliffs, the Rota Vicentina is one of the great coastal walking/hiking routes in Europe. Our tour operator has handpicked the very best walks from this extensive network of coastal trails, which span the tranquil Alentejo region and along the few remaining undeveloped shores of Portugal’s stunningly beautiful Algarve.
Starting from the picturesque town of Vila Nova de Milfontes, we walk on quiet coastal trails admiring dramatic cliffs. We will access the beaches and best spots on the Algarve coastline and we will end in the town of Sagres, on the western edge of the dramatic Algarve.
We stay overnight in three different villages, each chosen to provide easy access to the stunning vistas along these walking trails. The refreshing coastal breeze and inviting landscape make walking in this remote corner of Europe truly reinvigorating.
Each day’s walks are along coastal trails with little to no ascent (at most between 250 and 675 feet total daily ascent on any of our daily coastal walks), thus anyone in reasonable fitness shape can enjoy these guided walks and the stunning scenery that each walk will provide you.
September is a good time of year to visit the Algarve region for reliably dry, sunny weather, warm sea temperatures and pleasant ocean breezes, (minus the uncomfortable heat that characterize the earlier months of June-August.)
The average high temps. in this region in September are between 72-78 degrees, making it ideal for coastal walks, with those pleasant coastal breezes. September is also part of the dry season in this region (The wet season being Nov-Mar), so the walking conditions are reliably ideal in September.

The Mysterious Moai Statues on Easter Island

Easter Island is home to some of the most rare and unique sites in the world. It is not visited by any cruise ship and is only reached by a flight from Santiago on the mainland of Chile.
Easter Island is home to over 1000 enormous stone statues called Moais. Some of the statues stand along the beaches, some are found lying or leaning, along hillsides while others are in a quarry and still more are found in other spots around the island. The statues are as large as 71 feet in height.
Moai statues are massive megaliths at Easter Island, and these are what this island is famous for. The moais were built in approximately 1400 - 1650 A.D. by the natives of this island who were also known as the Rapa Nui civilization
We will witness these statues and learn of their mysterious origins, as well as enjoy a tour of this scenic island and enjoy other fun activities including a beach picnic BBQ, a stargazing in one of the most star filled dark skies in the world, and a most compelling sunrise over the island
