Did you know that in the area of Silves they run a conservation program to save the Iberian Lynx from extinction? Well, they are doing an amazing job and we are going to check it out! Of course without interrupting the animals.. There is an observatory on a hill just close enough to the cages from where we can spot the animals with a telescope. Bring your binoculars if you want… We are not aloud to enter the conservatory itself to prevent the animals from stress.
We combine this spotting of the Lynx with a nice hike into the hills of Silves and around the lake ‘Barragem de Arade’.

As an experienced walking guide i have more than 60 routes up my sleeve all over the Algarve. From easy, short and flat ones to long and technical challenging paths.
Alternating beach-cliff walks and inland rural walks to keep it interesting and variable.

Along the way i explain about wild herbs, edible plants, orchids and birds. Also the cultural background and history of Portugal and more specific the Algarve will be topics coming up.
Small groups is what I focus on. This allows me to pay more attention to detail and the soul behind the human.
