‍Bikepacking the Vicentina Coast – A Raw Adventure Between the Atlantic and Hidden Trails

From Lisbon to the Wild South – a pure escape on two wheels

The Vicentina Coast, nestled in the protected Southwest Alentejo Natural Park, is a forgotten paradise for bikepackers. Think rugged cliffs, sandy paths, eucalyptus forests and whitewashed villages perched above the Atlantic – this is Portugal at its wildest, most natural state.

At Baroudeur Cycling, we’ve created a unique route starting directly from Lisbon – with no complicated logistics. A smooth launch into the wild.

Lisbon to the Wild South – Easy Start, Real Freedom

• Departure from Lisbon – easy access by plane, train, or even the new France–Portugal night train.
• Bike delivery available – bring your own gear or arrive hands-free, we’ll take care of the rest.
• Pre-departure briefing & bike check – done right in Lisbon, before your first pedal stroke.
  From the city streets to wild dirt paths, the transition is instant.

Why Bikepack the Vicentina Coast?

• Wild, versatile terrain – whether you ride gravel, MTB or adventure bikes, this coastline adapts to your style.
• Unreal scenery – red cliffs, desert beaches, flower-covered hills, and eucalyptus woods.
• Flexible route format – 3 to 5 days, tailored to your level, timing and travel rhythm.
