Fanal Forest: The 15 Best Tours & Trips

23 reviewed

Fanal is a high plateau of five-hundred-year-old til trees that spends most afternoons in fog, which is precisely why photographers plan whole trips around it. These tours get you there and usually add Porto Moniz or Seixal on the same loop. What time each arrives, how long you get among the trees, and what the day costs.
