Sunset off-road West Coast Tour This tour is specially designed for people who don't like mass tourism places. Most people choose Cabo de S.Vicente as one of the most beautiful places to do a sunset..... It doesn't work for us...... There are up to 4000 thousand people, in one of the windiest places on the West Coast, it's not that kind of sunset that we propose...we want to provide much better The place where we chose to do our sunset is unique, the cliffs are twice the height of the cliffs of Cabo de S.Vicente...and usually only our customers are there !!! For those who like to explore places surrounded by nature that are not corrupted by man's action. Probably one of the best Sunset in Portugal !
