Walking in the 7 Hanging Valleys - Between Praia de Centeanes and Praia da Marinha
The Seven Hanging Valleys walking trail is one of the most beautiful trails in the Algarve, and was elected as the best hiking destination in the Europe. This walk has breathtaking views. This route goes down and up ravines that almost always end above sea level - the hanging valleys. In the distant past, each hanging valley was associated with the mouth of a river, owing its formation to a rapid retreat of the coastline not accompanied by the notch of the waterline. The action of fresh and salty waters results in the formation of a patterned pattern on the coast, known as karst landscape, with a remarkable diversity of geoforms that can be observed at Praia da Marinha: arches, caves, sinkholes and shallows. At Praia do Carvalho, the sand is accessed through a tunnel excavated in the soft Miocene limestone, where you can observe the profusion of sea shells aggregated in the rock matrix. Benagil Beach appears associated with the mouth of a torrential river that carved a narrow gully in the cliff. This beach was home to a fishing community dedicated to artisanal arts; Nowadays, boats are mainly engaged in visits to sea caves.
Lunch will be in the form of a picnic, the responsibility of each participant
Tour Suggestion : Boat trip to the Benagil Cave. (Tour price not included)
4:00 pm–Tour at Praia do Carvoeiro with visit to Algar Seco
Algar Seco is a true ex-libris of Lagoa, it is a natural amphitheater with an almost jungle-like setting and one of the most pleasant places on the entire Algarve coast. Land erosion and the onslaught of the sea have shaped the limestone rocks into graceful shapes. Going down the steps you can enjoy up close, lulled by the whispers of the waves, sea caves and corners where nature has done what man has barely managed to destroy. The rocks form “porches”, authentic balconies and romantic windows overlooking the sea, like A Boneca, from where you can feel the light breeze blowing from it. This is a highly recommended place for people who visit Carvoeiro, photography lovers, and others. The wooden walkway, approximately 570 m long, with rest areas that starts from here, reclassifies the coastal section up to the Fort and Chapel of N. Sra. da Encarnação.
8:30 pm – Group Dinner Suggestion< br/>
