4x4 route and boat ride through Eastern Algarve

The Eastern Algarve hides incredible places, from the Island of Tavira to the great Guadiana River, and now you have the opportunity to get to know this privileged area of the southwest both by land and by sea Portuguese.

We will start by getting on a 4x4 that will take us from Monte Gordo to the Castro Marim Marshes Natural Reserve and Vila Real de Santo Antonio. There we will visit the different landscapes that are home to a multitude of species, such as the famous flamingos that inhabit the reserve.

From there, we will descend through theBarrocal towards the interior of the district, traveling along the trails that connect the reserve with the town of Cacelha Velha. On the way we will stop at a farm where we will taste typical products and immerse ourselves in the popular customs of the region.
Once this 4x4 route takes us to Cacela Velha, we can stop to enjoy this historic coastal town, surrounded by vegetation and a rural environment where traditions are still alive .

We will get back into the 4x4 to head towards the Mata Nacional de Santa Rita, from where we can see both the Guadiana and the Atlantic at the same time, accompanied by the herds of deer that roam at ease.

We will return to the coast, from Cabanas we will be lucky enough to get on a boat that will take us to Tavira Island, a whim of nature separated from the coast by just a few meters away and full of beaches with crystal clear waters where we can walk or take a swim.

An adventure that, both by land and by water, will take us to the most emblematic places of the eastern Algarve.
