Understanding a place is far more rare than just visiting it. If you have a free morning or afternoon in the centre of Portugal, leave the asphalt and discover one of Europe’s best-kept geological secrets. Just 25 minutes from Fatima, travel in time on this private 4x4 SUV expedition through the Natural Park of the Air Serras and Lights.
This is not a tourist, noisy, or tested script safari. It is a private and relaxed exploration conducted by a resident naturalist. In just 3 hours, we will climb by land paths where ordinary rental cars and buses cannot pass, allowing you to walk on limestone that was a tropical sea in the time of the dinosaurs.
Because it is a 100% exclusive tour for your group, the rhythm is fully adapted to your curiosity. It is the ideal nature experience for families, couples and travelers who want to leave the traditional tourist routes and return in time for lunch or before sunset.

Station 1: Roofing of Mendiga Water Visit one of the park’s most fascinating and least known corners: natural formations carved by centuries of groundwater infiltrations. A place without signs or crowds, preserved in its pure state. Stop 2 : Valley of Means (Fingerprints of Outdoor Dinosaurs) Avoid the museum queues. Walk side by side with real trails of fossil footprints left 175 million years ago by 30-ton sauropods as you discover how this ancient dungeon turned into a mountain. Station 3: The "Mar de Pedra" (Planalto Calcario) Climb to the top of the hill aboard our 4x4 SUV. Walk on an impressive plateau that extends like a frozen ocean made of rock and learn to decipher the history of the Earth written directly under your feet.

Thank you Teresa and Hernâni for these fantastic moments we lived in Portugal. We loved staying at Retiro da avó Lídia and the tour in the Serras. You told us it's not the usual tour and we were unsure. Fortunately we accepted your suggestion. Hernâni is really passionated about the territory and he's so grateful to share its knowledge with us. You really surpased our spectations. The home-baked cake by Teresa was superb. See you soon :-)

What a fantastic morning we spent with Hernâni discovering wonderful landscapes combining scientific explanations for the mysteries of the limestone formations of the region. Ideal tour to make in Family to finish with a homemade cake and a tea (prepared by our dear host Teresa do Retiro of Grandfather Lídia) that welcomed us body and soul 😊

It was an unforgettable moment. Hernãni is a passionate and exciting guide. He introduced us to the Serra de Aire Natural Park, its flora and fauna. A great moment of emotion when we saw the dinosaur prints. Hernãni is a very cultivated guide with whom we were able to exchange. And besides, he gave us herbal tea and delicious cakes prepared by Teresa.

We did a 4x4 tour of the Serra de Aire and it was a fantastic experience. Hernâni was an exceptional guide: he explained everything with great clarity, knowledge and passion for the area, which made each stop even more interesting. In addition, he was very attentive with us throughout the tour, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience to the fullest. The 4x4 journey was exciting, with stunning scenery and corners that we would never have discovered on our own. We recommend this excursion without hesitation, and especially to Hernâni. Thanks for such a special day
