Overview

These hikes are for small groups (2 to 10 people), making the experience more personal and allowing everyone to ask me and the hosts questions. Throughout the hike, I will introduce you to local traditions and "hidden" wonders. Having been born in Monchique, I know the locals and have special access to certain places. I will give you an explanation on its wild life, including flora and fauna and how local industries have evolved, using natural resources in the area. There are three levels of difficulty, allowing people with different levels of fitness and experiences to participate. Finally, I speak four languages, making this experience possible for people of different nationalities.

During the hike, you will be given water, coffee/tea, snacks and a taste of the local Moonshine (Medronho).

Great hiking trip
JonnyMcL, 28-06-2022
A great day out hiking in the hills around Monchique. Max was a really fun and knowledgable guide, showing us the stunning views, local culture and best places to eat and drink, as well as telling us about the fascinating geography and history of the area.
Amazing Tour

This was more than worth the money. The hike was extremely rewarding and made us feel like we stepped back in time. Max is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area, and also a great conversationist in general which made us feel very comfortable. I can’t imagine seeing Monchique any different way - thank you Max!
Wonderful day

Max is a very good person in his core and he cares a lot about the sorrounding nature in Monchique. He will definitely show you the best spots and explain you the wildlife fauna around.
You have never truly been to Monchique before taking on this tour!

I had been to Monchique several times before, however, I have never truly met the place and its history before taking on this tour with Max.
This tour made this trip a unique experience! We hiked through several parts of Serra de Monchique and found many hidden historical landmarks that we would never have found without a true local. Max was a super friendly tour guide and even offered some refreshments throughout the tour. The knowledge and passion for his beautiful hometown and nature were evident throughout the afternoon.
This is an experience I highly recommend to anyone who is passionate about nature and history and traveling to Monchique.
Five star in Monchique

A great day exploring the beautiful Monchique. Max pitched the tour perfectly for us, taking in an active hike before showing off the local treats. A highlight of our holiday and I will definitely be booking in on my next visit.
