Itinerary
In our unmissable Algarve Tour departing from Lisbon, our first stop is Lagos, a city steeped in history and seaside charm. The natural harbor of Lagos, crucial to the city’s development in the 15th century, witnessed the footsteps of great navigators like Prince Henry the Navigator during the Age of Discoveries. Walking through the streets of Lagos’ city center is like diving into a living history book, where each street name evokes the glorious times of Portuguese maritime exploration. Here, Gil Eanes embarked on his courageous journey to round Cape Bojador, while Lagos stood out as a vital hub for the trade of exotic goods. However, its history also reflects darker aspects, such as being the site of Europe’s first slave market. This blend of heroic feats and historical challenges gives Lagos a unique aura, ready to be explored by our adventurous travelers. Get ready to be enchanted at every corner of this charming city as we embark on this journey through the Algarve.

This region has gained international acclaim in tourism, particularly due to its unique and breathtaking coastline. On our tour to the Lagos caves, you will understand why this acclaim is so well-deserved. Get ready for an unforgettable experience!

Throughout the centuries, capes like Sagres were departure points into the unknown, surrounded by myths and ancient cults.
