I loved the spectacular natural terraces, balconies, pools, windows, doorways, pathways, rooms, tunnels, bridges etc of Algar Seco in Carvoeiro. João was a caring guide who helped us explore these unusual and tricky rock formations. I recommend this tour for even 50+ year old travelers like me especially when you have a guide who looks out for you :)”
