“This was such a cool experience. The staff were all so personable and enthusiastic and the other people on the tour got along so well. The buggies are very easy to drive and everything was explained thoroughly to us at the beginning. One note: if you have respiratory issues, be aware that it does get super dusty in the air.

Drive a two-hour buggy through mountain tracks near Ponte de Lima, with wild horses, big views, and a guide-led route for two.
“This was a fun way to get off the beaten track. It takes you up into the hills and dirt tracks in the mountains south of Ponte de Lima. We saw wild horses and beautiful views! The tour guide was great and spoke English well. The meeting location was easy to find in Google maps. It can be very dusty, so recommend going in the morning when it’s cooler and on a weekday when they have fewer guests/ buggies. Definitely but the buff do an extra 2 euros, and wear the goggles. Don’t plan to do anything right after this tour as you need to get back to your hotel…”
