Discover the rugged beauty and fascinating history of Remote Alcoutim on our immersive 3-day adventure.
Venture into the heart of the Algarve’s untouched wilderness as we explore the hidden charms of Alcoutim, a village steeped in history and surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes. Led by our expert guide, you’ll embark on guided hikes through pristine wilderness, uncover hidden treasures, and immerse yourself in the serenity of the Guadiana River.
