From Albufeira: Full Day Jipe Tour In The Algarve Mountains With Lunch

Discover the secret side of the Algarve in this amazing land rover tour with an experienced driver! You'll visit small villages, taste local liquors and swim in the crystal clear waters of a natural spring. The most memorable day of your vacations!

(10)

Your jeep tour will start at 9 o’clock, when we’ll pick you up in your accommodation. Then we’ll go beyond the tourist spots to an almost undiscovered Algarve with traditional hill top villages, agricultural landscape and vestiges of moorish influence.

After crossing streams, we will arrive at the old village of Alte, where it seems like the time has stopped. You’ll have the opportunity to swim in a crystal clear water spring, unknown to most tourists in Algarve. Later on the tour continues up the hills, and you’ll learn all about the giant local cork industry. From the highest point of Rocha da Pena you will experience one of the most impressive views of the Algarve.

At lunchtime you will have a taste on the traditional Algarvian cuisine while enjoying lunch with local wines at a rural restaurant. Take the chance to sample the local traditional liquors and fire water. This trip will create a special atmosphere taking you to our roots, traditions and history.

As we will be responsible for lunch, if you have food intolerances please let us know after booking. Also, you must alert us if you are vegan when you do the booking, otherwise the restaurant can charge extra.

What a brilliant day. Me and my wife had the pleasure of Paolo driving us around and he was brilliant. Witty, informative, engaging and very knowledgeable. He took us on roads that did not look like roads and through rivers that looked impassable. We had opportunities to try locally made honey and liquor that is only available from the farm where you stop. You get a real taste of true algarvian life away from the craziness of the 21st century. As this was our honeymoon it was extra special for us. We would definitively do it again and next time bring the kids!! We would highly recommend! Thank you Paolo for doing a fantastic job!!

Vraiment super. Notre guide Paolo a en plus une pointe d’humour pour faire découvrir l’intérieur du pays. Les enfants 9 et 5 ans ont adoré.

Best trip!! We had an amazing time

Our driver and tour guide was Paolo (I think that’s how to spell it) …..and as he would say, if you don’t get him as a driver then poor you! He’s amazing and certainly made the trip! (We met some of the other drivers along the way and they all seem up for a laugh and full of good spirit also).
Paolo made regular stops with laughs along the way….I won’t go Into too much detail as don’t want to ruin it for others but it’s such a great trip and I would certainly do it again. You also stop at a lovely river used for swimming by the locals….I had to jump in! We stopped for lunch at restaurant and the food was amazing…with free wine, bonus!

Foi um dia fabuloso…. somos uma família de 5 e digo vos dos mais novos aos mais velhos , adoramos todos !!! Fomos super bem recebidos pelo guia , que nos passou a informação duma maneira bastante clara e que demonstrou um grande nível de conhecimento e uma enorme paixão pelo que faz Obrigada Miguel ( o homem vindo de Marte ) visitamos sítios lindíssimos. Da gastronomia, ficamos a conhecer pratos típicos da região , um restaurante simples muito asseado e com comida muito saborosa … Recomendo sem sombra de duvidas.
