- Private local hiking guide
- Guided hike to visit sites of Marinha Beach // Mesquita Beach // Cão Raivoso Beach // Corredoura Beach // Benagil Beach // Carvalho Beach // Vale Espinhaço Beach // Vale Centeanes Beach
If you enjoy long, scenic coastal walks, this private hike along the Seven Hanging Valleys Trail is one of the best days you can spend in the Algarve. You’ll meet your local guide in Lagoa and begin the walk at Praia da Marinha, a beach widely regarded for its dramatic cliffs and clear water. From there, the trail follows the edge of the coastline, offering continuous views over limestone cliffs, hidden coves, and the Atlantic below.
This is a point-to-point hike of about 12 kilometers (6 km each way), so it’s best suited for travelers who are comfortable walking for several hours on uneven terrain. The pace is steady and your guide will share practical insights about the landscape, local plants, and the geology that shaped this coastline. Along the way, you’ll pass a series of small beaches — including Mesquita, Cão Raivoso, Corredoura, Benagil, Carvalho, and Vale Centeanes — each with its own character and viewpoints.
Because this is a private experience, the route and pace can be adjusted slightly to match your interests, whether you want more time for photos, short breaks, or simply a quieter rhythm. It’s a rewarding day for anyone who wants to see the Algarve from above, away from crowds, and on foot.
