Nature Hike: The Enchanted Woods of Peninha (Jan. 30)
Join us for a nature hike!!
In this hike, we will first walk up to the Sanctuary of Peninha and tell you a curious legend about this sacred place. Here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding landscape, including the Tagus River, the beaches along the coastline and Cape Roca. We will then walk down through beautiful cedar woods and explore nature in the northern slopes of the Sintra Mountains.
This hike will be an opportunity to get to know some of the most beautiful and mysterious woods of Sintra and observe its century-old trees.
This tour will be guided by our partners called "Hearts into Nature". Here are some words about our partners:
