Trip includes:

  • Round trip transfers to and from Faro Airport (1 hour from Faro)- (if you would rather fly into Lisbon and rent a car to drive down to the Algarve flights may be a little cheaper and more direct, I can assist with grouping people together to split on the rental, the lodge is 2 hr and 40 mins from Lisbon airport)
