Discover one of the Algarve’s hidden gems Bravura Lake, located below the Monchique hills near Aljezur, is one of the region’s most peaceful and scenic paddling locations. After several dry years, the lake has returned to full capacity, offering exceptional water levels and outstanding conditions for the upcoming season — a rare opportunity to experience this landscape at its very best.

Along the way, you will enjoy calm, warm waters perfect for swimming, relaxing breaks and learning fun paddle skills such as pivot turns, balance exercises or headstands. A peaceful, refreshing and unforgettable summer experience in one of the Algarve’s best-kept secrets. YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO SWIM AT LEAST 50M!!!!
