Private Walk to Dinosaur Footprints Near Lisbon
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
This is not a typical hike it is a private journey into a wild landscape just south of Lisbon, where nature, history, and spirituality meet. No crowds, no tourist paths only cliffs, ocean, and silence.
We follow coastal trails to discover real dinosaur footprints preserved in the rock, over 160 million years old. You do not just see them, you stand where they once walked.
For the more adventurous, there is an optional descent toward a hidden beach, adding a sense of discovery to the experience.
The route is easy, around 3.3 km, suitable for most travelers, including families. No rush, just time to enjoy the moment.
Cabo Espichel is also one of Portugal’s most important sacred sites. Along the way, I share stories while adapting the experience to your pace. A simple local tasting adds a memorable touch.
Availability is limited, advance booking is recommended.

A Must-Do Lisbon Experience – The Dino Footprints Were Incredible! 🦕

5.00Natasha was an amazing guide for our dinosaur footprint walking tour—easily one of the most unique and memorable experiences of our trip. The dinosaur footprints themselves are incredible and something we never would have found or fully appreciated on our own. Natasha made the experience by bringing them to life with her knowledge and storytelling, explaining the history and significance in a way that was both interesting and easy to follow. She was also fantastic to spend time with—friendly, fun, and engaging throughout the tour. Communication was seamless from the start, with clear confirmations beforehand, and she even took photos for us along the way, which we really appreciated. She also has great knowledge of the fauna of the area which was really interesting. If you’re in Lisbon and want to do something truly different, this tour with Natasha is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

5.00I recently came home from a vacation with my girlfriend from Portugal. She had the great idea to hire a local tour guide and it definitely was worth it. The private walk away from the busy city of Lisbon was a great change of pace and scenery. Natalia was knowledgeable and personable, she answered all our questions about the area and the dinosaurs we had. She made us feel very welcome for our first trip to Portugal and we will be sure to hire her again on our return trip! 10/10!
