Caldas de Monchique
Those who walk this way will never forget their experience.
Each adventurer takes away something unique from the balmy paths. For some, the thrill lies in the arresting views. They wonder at the myriad terrains one can tread while on a single coastal path. For others, it's the breathtaking wildlife, always within reach. But almost everybody will say that it is the quiet that they won't forget - a comforting silence and solace that cities can never give.
What will you take from the journey? Find out for yourself. Monchique awaits.

Wild Camping
Caldas de Monchique to Cortez is for serious hikers. There are difficult treks and steep passages that will require some expertise and experience. Though challenging, the reward of such a precious experience is worth it. Not many come this way, but those who do find that the hike is a pilgrimage, and the journey is within.
Those who walked the nature trails come back a changed person. There's something about the stillness up in those mountains that calls to the quiet, forgotten corners of our humanity. It brings memories from our ancestors, those who first trod these ancient landscapes - from a time before time, when man lived with nature and her seasons in perfect synchrony.
