Tour Details

At the scheduled time, we'll meet at the Hotel Astoria in Coimbra. Once everyone’s ready, we'll set off on this excursion into the natural landscapes and villages of Portugal’s Central System mountain range. Ready? Let’s go!

First, we'll head to Serra de Lousã by bus. We'll start at the small village of Cerdeira, in the heart of the mountains. This spot has been perfectly reconstructed with pretty houses that blend into the natural landscape thanks to the shale stones, clay, and brown wood with which they were built.

Then we'll visit some of the villages of Xisto, like Candal. Hidden within the mountains on a south-facing hill, we'll wander through its picturesque streets uphill and enjoy the best scenic views of the valley from a viewpoint. Your efforts will be worth it!

We'll also stop at the village of Talasnal, the biggest and best-preserved village. There, we'll lose ourselves among slate houses, oaks, cork trees, and tiny cobblestone streets and paths that will transport you to a dream-like world.

Finally, we'll return to the hotels in Coimbra after a day exploring a beautiful wilderness in rural Portugal.
