Begin your adventure at Quinta da Ria Golf Resort and follow scenic coastal paths towards Cacela Velha, one of the Algarve’s most picturesque and historic villages. Perched above the lagoon of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Cacela Velha offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean, sandy islands, and salt marshes. Its whitewashed houses, small church, and peaceful atmosphere make it one of the true hidden gems of the region.
From there, continue inland through quiet country roads and gravel tracks towards Pego do Inferno, a beautiful natural waterfall hidden in the Algarve countryside near Tavira. Along the way, pass olive groves, fig trees, almond orchards, and traditional rural landscapes that showcase the authentic side of the Algarve far away from the busy tourist resorts.
At Pego do Inferno, enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings and take a short break in this unique oasis of greenery and fresh water — a surprising contrast to the coastal scenery of the Algarve.
The return journey leads towards the charming waterfront village of Cabanas de Tavira. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, colorful fishing boats, and beautiful lagoon views, Cabanas perfectly captures the laid-back lifestyle of the Eastern Algarve. Ride along the waterfront and through the protected landscapes of the Ria Formosa to create a relaxing finale to the tour before returning to Quinta da Ria.
