What you'll do

We'll be taking pictures of interesting motifs along our slow hike. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE PICTURES nor to follow my technical guidance. We will see the only Portuguese endemic palm species, cross a photogenic small forest of native pines and descend a path down to Antelope Canyon stile sandstone formations. At the beach we can photograph algars (cylinder-shaped vertical hole in the limestone caused by erosion) and a variety of fossils, as it is seen nowhere else in the Algarve. We'll cross a natural tunnel to the next beach (which has itself an "island") and move to our "hidden spot" where we'll shoot arches, low tide pools with anemones, and enter well lit caves one leading to another and then to another.

Born in Algarve, I've been photographing with professional cameras since 1973. I've taught Photography to more than 3500 people. I love to pass my knowledge onto others. During my tours I give the participants as much help and advice as I can. I'm a Biologist with a Masters and a PhD in Genetics, so I also point out some species for you during the tour. I've taught in 3 universities: Coimbra and Lusofona in Portugal and Purdue in the US. I'm the author of the Nature Photography book "Cape Roca" among many publications.

Where you'll be

The Algarve's southern karst coast is certainly a future 5-star Monumental Geo-Park given its many thousands of different geological formations. This one is Algarve's MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH in my visually educated opinion. And yet, due to its not so obvious access it remains an undiscovered gem. You likely will not meet anybody in the place we'll be photographing. During high tide we'll spend more time on the cliffs, also offering amazing views.

Things to keep in mind

Cancellation policy

Any experience can be cancelled and fully refunded within 24 hours of purchase, or at least 7 days before the experience starts.

Communication policy

Always communicate through Airbnb. To protect your payment, never transfer money or communicate outside the Airbnb website or app.

Guest requirements

Up to 10 guests ages 5 and up can attend. Parents may also bring children under 2 years of age.

What to bring

Flip-flops ,or sandals that can get wet by sea water, or old tennis shoes, or snorkeling aquashoes for walking on low tide rocks (eg. https://www.decathlon.pt/calcado-aquatico-aquashoes-500-id_8360412.html).

More tips

As we'll be near cliffs there is always a rock fall hazard. Green algae lined rocks are slippery. Watch your children. You shall not damage, remove, disturb anything, litter or make noise.
