Week schedule

On Sunday, our team can pick you up in Lisbon and drive you to your hostel so you can settle in. We’ll all gather for a welcome meeting and dinner.

From Monday to Friday, our team will pick you up from the hostel every morning and drive you to the dune restoration site, where we will do hands-on work until about 1pm. Our team will drive you back for lunch. There is a kitchen available at the hostel and many grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance.

The afternoons will be free, so you can relax, hike or go to the beach. One day, we will also go on an excursion to visit the gorgeous ranch we purchased nearby. On Friday evening, we will enjoy a goodbye dinner altogether.

On Saturday, you are welcome to leave whenever suits you. We will organise one drop off back to Lisbon.
