Overview

This experience is different.
I don’t lead these Tours to impress — I lead them to share.

I grew up exploring these trails, listening to stories from old shepherds, noticing how the plants change with the seasons, and learning to read the land like a book. Now, I’d love to share that same feeling of belonging with you.

The land that shaped me, and sharing it with others is a way to keep its memory alive. I adapt the rhythm to your curiosity and your pace. Whether you're passionate about Nature, culture, or simply being outdoors, there’s space here for you. It’s not about chasing must-see landmarks, it’s about slowing down and discovering a landscape that has meaning.

By the end I hope you’ll feel that this wasn’t just a Nature Tour — it was a meeting with a place that still breathes slowly and deeply, and maybe a reminder of the simpler, meaningful connections that we often forget.

What To Expect

Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros

Our journey starts in Mendiga, a village with a strong rural identity, shaped by stone walls, water cisterns, and a life tuned to the rhythm of Nature. From there, we’ll drive through the Serra de Aire’s karstic landscape — a place of fossils, ancient pastures, and resilient plants that bloom between cracks in the rock.Throughout the Tour, I’ll guide you to places that may not be on the map, but are full of meaning:Hidden viewpoints where the limestone plateau opens into wide horizons. Traditional landscapes with dry-stone walls and wild herbs underfoot. Signs of wildlife — from birds and butterflies to the quiet traces they leave behind. Stories of the land, from geology to local customs passed down through generations.This is an easy route, with gentle terrain and plenty of stops to talk, reflect, and notice details you might otherwise miss.
