Walking to The Holly Waters and Sightseeing Tour

Let's go on a wonderful walk by a secret hicking trail to a lake where we will experience the sacred waters of Sintra. Here you can dip your toes in the water and feel the tiny fish nibbling or take a refreshing dip in the cool waters of the Serra and connect with alchemical and healing sources. Then we continue by car to discover the natural and cultural heritage. Ancestral Sintra, Legendary Sintra, Romantic Sintra... From its distant origins, human expression is manifested throughout time, through different civilizations, from the prehistoric Meghalits, the Romans, the Great Moorish legacy, the formation by the Templaires, to the beautiful palaces and Romantic gardens that characterize it.
