• Luggage must be ready from 9:00 am and will be delivered till 4:30 pm.
• Always leave your luggage in a central location on your accommodation, like the lobby, reception or luggage room. • You don’t need to be present for the pick-up and delivery and can start the hike before we arrive! • We’ll label your luggage on the first transfer. DO NOT remove the label until the end of the hike. We need it to make sure your luggage is delivered on the right place.

Then please use the comments section you'll find just before submitting your request to provide the contact number of your host.
- 08
Due to continuous problems offering our service in the southern portion of the route - from Salema to Lagos - we’ve restricted the number of accommodations in which we offer the service.
Please have in mind that due to the nature of our Luggage Transfer service we can only deliver and pick luggage from accommodations with reception or in case there is no reception, when hosts offer access to the premises either by a key, a key box or similar solution. If we can only deliver and pick luggage at the time of check-in and check-out in the presence of the client, surely our service becomes inviable, as we cross the entire region from Santiago do Cacém to Lagos everyday being subject to all sorts of unexpected events and uncertainty. We’re are sure you can understand.
