Area

Area/surroundings

Summer can be boiling in the South of Europe, but winters have the perfect weather to walk through the inland hills, along beaches and cliffs. Finishing a perfect day like this with a drink on a terrace in the sun.

Parque natural de

Ria Formosa

The coastline of the eastern Algarve is characterised by a 50km-long network of sundrenched dunes and barrier islands which protect the marshes and flooded areas of Ria Formosa from the open sea. Small fishing boats navigate between sea and lagoon through the barras, small inlets between the sandy islands.

West Coast

"Fishermen's Trail"

Parque natural de Costa Vicentina

It is said that to get to know Portugal “you must feel the earth under your feet”. Walking the Rota Vicentina, a 400km signed walking route from Cabo de Sao Vicente along the Alentejo coast up to Santiago de Cacém, smugglers’ tracks which, by their very nature, follow this coastline. Pass secret beaches, accessible only at low tide or by steep tracks running down. Perilous paths fork away from the advised Rota, too risky for any but the fisherman’s dog.

South Coast

Lagos, Ferragudo, Carvoeiro, Loulé

Opposite to the wild West Coast of the Algarve, the South Coast has a much gentler feel to it. Stunning rock formations, peaceful yellow sand beaches, little remote bays and wonderful cliffs paths on offer. Traditional fishermen’s villages are scattered along the coastline and are a delightful refuge to take a break and let the beautiful surroundings settle in.

Serra de

Monchique

Inland Hills

Inland you will find the towering hills of Monchique, with Foia, the peak at 902m, an island emerging from clouds covering the hills below. At this summit, pilgrims leave stones balanced in prayerful columns, mariolas, representing a symbolic act of remembrance or unburdening. Kean into the wind, weightless, as your view soars over the Algarve to the dunes marking the border of land and sea.

Program

Embark on incredible hikes amidst breathtaking landscapes and scenery.

Our intermediate-level hikes usually cover an average of 12 kilometers, with some shorter and some longer trails to choose from. You'll encounter an average of 300 meters of climbing, so having a basic level of fitness is recommended.

While some paths are flat and easy-going, others might throw in a bit of a challenge with longer distances or trickier terrain like soft sand.

HIKES

Parts of Rota Vicentina in the Natural parc of Costa Vicentina (aka Fisherman’s trail)
Parts along the Via Algarviana (inland Algarve)
Lots of cliff hikes passing through fantastic old fisherman’s villages like Burgau, Ferragudo, Praia da Luz, Salema, Monte Clérigo,
More inland we will be hiking around Silves and Monchique famous for oranges and the famous medronho licor

Kiki Trips is well known for finding the most beautiful paths, the hidden tracks, she takes you to the places only known by locals.
