“Hiked along beautiful scenery to the waterfall and lagoon. Explored the village area too with a traditional Portuguese lunch/wines. Antonio was our tour guide, he was welcoming and made the experience more enjoyable. It’s a long day with moderate degree of difficulty for the hikes, so be prepared for a 10+ hour day. It’s a full day tour for those who enjoy the outdoors and hiking.”
