Two historical, beautiful, and unique UNESCO heritage sites in one go. Alcobaça Monastery is a place where eternal love is celebrated, as it is the resting place of Pedro and Inês, crowned Queen of Portugal… after death. We will tell you all about the history and daily life of this ancient monastery, one the biggest of all Cistercian centers in Europe. “Pray and Work” was the motto of the monks, who left a strong legacy beyond spiritual matters: they were also famous for their delicious pastries. Afterwards, we'll visit Nazaré where you will be able to take in some massive views and learn about the legends and traditions of this unique place that was once a fishing village and is now a surfing Meca. After lunch in Nazaré, it's time to visit Batalha Monastery, a true masterpiece of Portuguese Late Gothic architecture. You will see the marvelous royal pantheon and learn all about the Battle (Batalha) of Aljubarrota, which paved the way for Portugal to become the first global empire.

Inglês (English) If you are looking for a traditional tourist trap—bouncing around in a jeep through mud pits, blaring music, and making five-minute stops to take the exact same photo as everyone else—I’m afraid I am not the right guide for you. My name is Hernâni Magalhães, and I see the Natural Park through a different lens. To most people, these mountains are just grey rocks and olive trees. To me, they are an open book dating back 175 million years. Where others see a stone wall, I show you a Jurassic period fossil. Where others see a dip in the ground, I show you actual footprints of giant dinosaurs that walked exactly where we are standing. I believe deep exploration requires two things: curiosity and the time to truly reflect. That is why my expeditions are private, designed for curious minds, and conducted aboard a premium AWD SUV. No rush, no noise, and with absolute respect for the sustainability of this ancient ecosystem.
