ACTIVITIES

We help you book the activity you want

Hiking Trails

Among cork and olive trees we have marked two walking trails to discover this still pure and beautiful landscape. Also Rota Vicentina Association has marked a hiking trail that one can choose from 6, 8 to 13 km that leads to the hill where a small chapel calls for worship to Nª Senhora das Neves. Here one can have a magnificent view from 277 meters high. In São Luís (12 km) the hikers can catch the Historical Path and in Vila Nova de Milfontes (25 km) the Fishermens Trail, both part of the hiking trails also developed by the association.

Horse Riding

Monte da Barbanxa only 2 km from São Luís and 10 km from Figueirinha Ecoturismo, offer several experiences even to the less experienced. Rides, advanced riding lessons, therapeutic riding and pony lessons for the smaller crowd. If you wish we can help you organize your visit.

Cycling

Besides the walking trails marked by Figueirinha Ecoturismo that can be also be done by bike, there are a number of dirt roads that one can use to discover the region. For those who prefer a bigger challenge we recommend Rota Vicentina off road cycling trails, one of which has a higher degree of difficulty and goes by our rural tourism, where one can also find a Bike Station, and through Nª Senhora das Neves.

Sound Massage

Directly in our neighborhood, you can find Anja a sound artist and clown. She has a wide range of activities and wellness to offer. Tune yourself with Tuning Fork Massages (Phonophorese), relax in a Gong Meditation, listen to a private concert, try out instruments (alone, in a family constellation, or only kids), or play games. Maybe you want to try out a new instrument like a gong, handpan, accordion, drums. Or you want to find out a new way to connect to your own instrument. Learn how to create your sounds and songs, write a family jingle. Check out her homepage: www.diemondin.com
