# Albufeira: Benagil, Algar Seco, Marinha & 7 Hanging Valleys Tour

**Guidekin's take:** The Benagil coast from the land side: Algar Seco's rock pools, the cave seen from the clifftop above and a guided walk along the Seven Hanging Valleys to Marinha beach, with pickup from Albufeira or Armação de Pêra. It is a coastal walk, so not for reduced mobility. 4.76 from 104 reviews at €45 per person.

## Overview

Explore Benagil Cave, Algar Seco, and take in the breathtaking views of Marinha Beach & the 7 Hanging Valleys on this guided excursion.

Start the tour with the well-known Algar Seco, known for natural pools, stunning caves, and the iconic Window to the Sea rock formation.

Then your guide will drive to Benagil - view of Benagil Cave from above and experience the impressive panoramic views. Then, from benagil, we will walk together to Marinha Beach along the seven hanging valleys trail.

Our last stop is Marinha Beach, hailed by CNN Travel as one of the Algarve's best-kept secrets. Amidst the endless cliffs and rock formations, discover the area’s beautiful mysteries.
