(This itinerary can also be done in reverse, starting in the Algarve and ending in Lisbon)

Pick-up in Lisbon at 8:00 AM

Our journey begins with a deep dive into one of Portugal’s most unique natural treasures — the world of cork. Visit a traditional cork factory and learn about the entire process, from harvesting cork oak trees to creating the final products admired worldwide.

Next, we head to the historic city of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you'll explore ancient Roman ruins, a majestic medieval cathedral, and walk through narrow streets filled with charm and stories from centuries past.

A truly unforgettable stop awaits at the Chapel of Bones, where the walls are lined with thousands of human bones and skulls. Above the entrance, the haunting message reads: “We bones that are here, await yours.”

In the afternoon, we make our way to Monsaraz, a stunning medieval hilltop village with whitewashed houses and sweeping views over the Alentejo plains — a true hidden gem.

Just a short drive away, we visit the Alqueva Dam, Europe’s largest artificial lake. This tranquil spot offers peace, beauty, and a sense of serenity in the heart of the countryside.

Our day ends as we descend into the southern paradise of the Algarve, famous for its golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and warm Mediterranean climate.

Drop-off in the Algarve at 6:00 PM
