Overview

The tour will start by crossing the famous Montado by van. The forest where the cork oaks grow, the cork tree. An inheritance left by our ancestors. Then, the spectacular Almendres Cromlech, considered even by the locals to be the most mysterious place in the region. The truth is that until now, no one has been able to give us an exact explanation that justifies the presence of this monument and its significance. We'll talk about some of the more well-known theories. These stones can give you a completely different understanding of our existence. The way Humanity has been evolving and how important some of the things we consider simple today were. We will visit 3 megalithic monuments, but as all our tours are different we might also have the opportunity to visit some nearby Roman ruins. On this tour you will have the unique opportunity to leave the urban environment a little, enjoy nature and culture, in just a few hours.
