A hike in the heart of the Serra do Caldeirão, starting and finishing in the small village of Barranco do Velho (Loulé), a land of cork production. This is an attractive option for those who like to walk for several hours in the middle of nature, with an experienced and expert guide, through dense cork oak forests, with the presence of impressive centenary trees. The rich occurrence of fauna and flora will be a constant on this route, whether it's the numerous of aromatic plants or forest birds, including the rare Bonelli's Eagle.

This is a route for those who like to isolate themselves from urban life and have close contact with life in the mountains.

At the end, we also suggest a visit to the arbutus brandy distillery for a tasting of this natural elixir.
