Alentejo self guided cycling vacation, Portugal

Planet

We are committed to running independent/individual and small group tours, and always operating these with our local partners and communities helping to reduce the impact. The benefit this specific area starts to be noticed by the local authorities and agents.
Because this kind of non-massive tourism belongs to an eco-tourism movement that provides sustainability to the Sudoeste Alentejano ecosystem in Portugal.
All tours have a previous briefing at the first accommodation with the monitor that will give the all support during the tour .Clients are informed about the reasons we are trying to preserve this area and how to act following /adopt an “eco-behavior” during their stay on this area. We think that a god “eco-behavior” is for example to use public transports to get Vila Nova Milfontes, take care of your own garbage using the eco points near the populations, give preference to the biological food, to respect nature being responsible, not collecting any king of plant of animal (remember nature is fragile and they could be rare and protected, and even the most ordinary as a meaning in nature). This way we encourage travelers to any relevant suggestions to minimize damage to the environment, and local wildlife and marine ecosystems
On this self-guided Cycling vacations programmes clients are contributing to 0% C02 emission to the air during they stay in the Alentejo Coast with their Cycling actions. As an active tourism operator responsible for all the logistic, we also contribute to minimize this damage using eco engines on our vehicles to transport clients and luggage between the accommodations (efficiency is a philosophy that we try to improve all the time).

People

Cycling in our opinion is one of the best’s ways to explore the countryside and the coastal area in the Alentejo, traveling longer distances at our own pace, enjoying with plenty of detail of our region without damaging the environment.
For this especial self-guided Cycling tour we did a previous selection of “rural tourism” accommodations in small villages and places, allowing the client the integration with the owners and their families that also live there or simple to take the option of relaxing on these unique places.
On this especial tour we have dinners meals included at your accommodations this will make the all difference having the opportunity to taste the local flavors and products “home made cooked”. The client also as included on this package some picnics provided for each accommodation on the morning before leaving the hotel, that way they don’t need to care with this, on this region we take “good care of you”.
In this way we are helping to conserve a rural lifestyle and contribute to the overall sustainable development of the area.
Our approach looks to: Buying local products from small producers and collaborating with locally based people we are helping the local economy.
The philophy is to Manage our “Pedaling” to limit our environmental impact on this Coastal Area of Alentejo and Algarve.at .
