      This beautiful waterfall and its surrounding natural pool have become a popular spot for nature lovers and hikers, offering a peaceful retreat amid the stunning landscape of the Algarve. The name "Pego do Inferno" translates to "Hell's Pool" in English, which may come from the dramatic beauty of the place.

The village is in the Sotavento part of the Algarve, known for its serene countryside, picturesque views, and relaxed pace of life. While it’s not as well-known as some of the more touristy spots in the Algarve, it offers a unique, traditional Portuguese experience, especially for those who enjoy history, nature, and a slower pace.

    Great experience apart from the boat trip back

    This is definitely worth doing when you are anywhere in the area, very professional and very friendly service, the zip line travels between Spain and Portugal so you travel in time as well as Portugal is 1 hour behind Spain. The only problem we had was the boat journey back across to Spain. This has nothing to do with the Zip Line company as everything was first class. The boat guy was 6 minutes late and decided to move everyone from one boat to another, and did not care about who was there first and had been waiting, very un friendly and not helpful at all, then on the second trip left half of out party behind for the third trip. Rude and unfriendly, not a great experience and sort of ruined the day. The zip line was fantastic and should be done but look out for the in helpful boat guy.

    Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lagos.

    How much does Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lagos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lagos is not rushed.

    Is Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lagos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lagos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lagos and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lagos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lagos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lagos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Kayak Tour: Magic of Ponta da Piedade, Lagos, From Lagos: Kayak Tour of Ponta da Piedade Caves by Boat, Boat trip to the grottos at Ponta da Piedade, Lagos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lagos?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lagos?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Ticket for zip line is €25. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Lagos. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Zip Line - Back in Time Spain to Portugal Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Lagos. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
