Unique Donkey Walks in the Algarve

Enjoy a unique donkey walk in beautiful nature.

Have a good time on a unique donkey walk in the stunning canyons of the Monchique Mountains in the step of a donkey, strolling along beautiful paths, crossing small streams and enjoying the scent of aromatic herbs. We also hear the sounds of nature and catch a glimpse of bees, deer, wild boar, eagles and other wild animals.

For many people this is the highlight of their vacation!

 

 

Experience an enjoyable and relaxing time

All our walks and are ideal for adults and young nature lovers alike and always accompanied by our whole donkey family. All our donkeys are lovely towards us and a bit cheeky with each other, which is always very funny. And because they always walk completely free with us, you can totally relax, have a lot of fun, observe the donkeys' natural behaviour and be very surprised at all the incredible things they like to do and to eat.

The most important thing 😇

Donkeys love carrots and those who give them.

You are welcome to bring as much carrots as you like.  It's always great fun to feed the donkeys 😀. (Donkeys easily can eat several Kilos 😋😇)

Visits:

Currently we do not offer visits, because the respect for the natural needs of our donkey family is most important to us. For this reason, they are almost not found on an enclosure in our donkey sanctuary, but happy in a kind of wilderness.
