Nature trekking
In Portugals Natural Parks and Nature Reserves, there are specially marked footpaths and cycle tracks.
In the Algarve, the Via Algarviana (the Algarve Way) runs right across the inland parts of the region, highlighting the points of greatest interest. In Madeira, follow the paths of the levadas (irrigation channels), which are a unique way of getting to know the island while communing with nature.
