Pedal through the breathtaking Alentejo and Southwest Vicentina coast of Portugal, where dramatic cliffs rise above the crystal-clear Atlantic waters and nature flourishes.

This coastal cycling adventure takes you through four protected regions, from the serene Estuário do Sado and Santo André Lagoons to the untamed landscapes of Sudoeste Alentejano  Costa Vicentina Natural Park.

Navigate tranquil backroads, uncover secluded beaches and fishing communities, and take breaks to enjoy the area's fresh seafood, award-winning wines, and gourmet picnics on quiet shores.

The diverse landscape and picturesque views make this one of Portugal’s most unforgettable cycling journeys, combining excitement, natural splendor, and genuine local culture.

I have been fortunate to be part of our tour and hotel team for the last 20 years. One of my earliest adventures was trekking in the mountains of Gerês with my father when I was just 5 years old. Over the years, I've enjoyed various outdoor sports and developed a love for traveling by bike. For two years, I explored beautiful places like Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Laos, India and Nepal. Eventually, I returned to Portugal and started our company. With a passion for the outdoors, I love guiding cycling tours, canoeing trips or even organizing unique outdoor events for company meetings. I feel grateful to share these experiences with others.
