Hernâni Magalhães — guide and naturalist in the heart of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park.

"I don't just show people the path; I show them the life that most people walk past without seeing." — Hernâni Magalhães

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.

Histórias e Património Natural do Território

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…

Alojamento Rural no Parque Natural: Retiro da Avó Lídia

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.
