The main aim of this tour is to help disconnect from the stress of big cities, to enjoy and relax in these landscapes ... the most beautiful and authentic we still have in the Algarve. For this reason, one of the main philosophies as a company, is to allow our customers to spend as much time as possible outside the vehicle and in contact with nature. There’s nothing better than exploring with locals, who know the region better than anyone else. In the various scenarios we visited, we are particularly interested in completing our tour with information related to history and fauna. Often our customers said they were amazed at what they saw, but most of all they were very happy with what they had learned.

The immersive sound experience, as a form of nature tourism, is in itself a rather uncommon activity. The choice of location for a sound walk, along the edge of a natural park, ensures a rich “sonodiversity” with evident seasonality. The pioneering nature of the activity also lies in the use of specific microphones and the sharing of sound via radio waves, allowing for an innovative, pedagogical, and uniquely contemplative aural approach. It is an absolutely singular activity that, fortunately, is being developed in a region of Europe whose biodiversity greatly enhances it. From endemisms to seasonal changes, passing through the reproductive periods of a wide variety of species, sound walks in nature whisper—through birds, insects, mammals, amphibians and plants - the meaning of the words "life" and "communication"
