    Hiking

    The 150 steps leading down from the wooden boardwalk reward you with the most spectacular view of the entire hike. When the waves crash against the rocks at high tide, you have a perfect photo op.

    Hiking

    The ideal way to admire the bizarre rock formations is from a boat.

    Hiking

    Ponta da Piedade, located in Lagos, is considered one of the most impressive natural settings in the Algarve and Portugal. This headland is famous for its golden limestone cliffs, which have been sculpted over thousands of years by the sea and wind, forming natural arches, sea caves, and isolated rock towers in turquoise waters.
