There are no tours here. There is someone who knows every stone, every plant, and every story of this place — and who was waiting for you.
Hernâni Magalhães — guide and naturalist in the heart of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park.
Hernâni Magalhães – Guide and naturalist
Most people visit a place. Take photos. Move on to the next.
It’s different here.
The Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park has 150 million years of history inscribed in the rocks, plants, animals, and people who have always lived here. I spent years learning to read them.
A day with you is this: learning to see what is always there, but that almost no one notices.
You don’t need to know anything about geology, botany, or ornithology.
You just need curiosity.
What awaits you

A story of the territory
I didn't always know how to read this territory. A story about quarries, prejudices, and what I learned from a researcher.
On the first tours I did, I intended not to show visitors those wounds in the landscape. But I was wrong. Firstly, because visitors showed curiosity. Then because a researcher explained something to me that completely changed my view of the territory…
Onde tudo começou
Retiro da avó Lídia
No coração do Parque Natural, existe um lugar chamado Retiro da avó Lídia.
Foi aqui que tudo começou, e é aqui que muitos dos nossos clientes pernoitam. Também é aqui que é preparado o chá de ervas e um bolo feito pela Teresa, que ajuda a recuperar as forças após as nossas descobertas do Parque Natural.
Se quiseres ficar mais do que um dia, este é o teu lugar.
Tens curiosidade.
O território está à tua espera.
Só falta marcar o dia.
