Overview

Our immersive journey will take you through the heart of Sintra's enchanting natural beauty and most iconic monuments while uncovering its rich history and culture. I've been exploring these trails since I was a child, and I'm passionate about sharing their secrets with visitors. Walking through Sintra's mountains and it's monuments is a journey through time. We'll uncover the region's spiritual roots, from its ancient sacred sites to the Moorish influences that shaped its landscape.
Along the way, I'll share my personal perspective on Sintra's transformation throughout history.
I believe that by connecting with the land and its people, we gain a deeper understanding of a place. That's why I love leading hikes in Sintra. It's an opportunity to share my passion for this magical region and to help others create lasting memories.
Join me on this tour and let me show you the true heart of this enchanting place.
