From Local Trails to European Adventures
What began as weekend explorations of the Algarve's lesser-known trails has evolved into Portugal's premier boutique hiking tour company. Based in Faro, we've spent years mapping the region's most spectacular routes, building relationships with local communities, and developing the expertise that makes each tour exceptional.
Our approach combines the intimacy of small-group adventures with the professionalism of certified guides and premium equipment. We believe that hiking is more than just walking - it's about connecting with nature, understanding local culture, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Today, Lotus Hub Basevi serves adventurers from across the EU, offering carefully curated experiences that showcase Portugal's natural beauty whilst supporting sustainable tourism practices. Every tour reflects our commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and authentic adventure.
