Choose the option which best suits your interests and fitness

We provide flexible holidays. Choose easier walking one day and harder the next or just explore independently or relax around the resort

Our leaders are friendly and welcoming making your holiday fun and sociable

Our walks from Luz help discover the incredible variety this compact area has to offer from beautifully varied coastline rich in birdlife, striking cliffs, beaches and boardwalks to the green, rolling hills inland around Monchique and Foia (the highest point in the Algarve), offering a great contrast to the more familiar sights of the region.

Easier walks: [Level 1 logo] 4 to 7 miles on good paths. Up to 700ft of ascent in a day.

Harder walks: [Level 2 logo] 6 to 11 miles on good paths. Up to 1,000ft of ascent in a day.

Your free day offers the chance to relax in this resort, visit Lagos by local bus and walk the town trail or take a boat trip from Luz or Lagos.

Please note that the itinerary outlined is provisional and could be subject to change. A finalised itinerary will be available at the resort and every evening your leaders will talk to you about the next day’s walks.
