Bordeira Circular Walk to the Coast
If you are feeling energetic, you can walk from Carrapateira to Bordeira. The short walk is just 5kms. Alternatively, you can get a taxi to Bordeira to start the walk. From Bordeira you will cross the river and continue on the floodplain out to the coast. Returning inland you will pass by a private pine forest whose wood is mostly used for boat construction, before returning to the floodplains and Bordeira. Again, you can walk or get a taxi back to Carrapeteira depending on your energy levels.

Hills of Carrapateira
Today’s walk has some of the most outstanding views of the region. You’ll be able to see for miles out to the coast and also inland where you can see as far as the Monchique mountains. An undulating walk takes you through more pine forests and valleys before you climb up to the sierra where the views await. The sierra is a great place to stop for lunch, relax, and really appreciate your surroundings. Make sure your camera is fully charged!
