Overview
Start by travelling over 175 million years back in time at the Pedreira do Galinha dinosaur site. Your guide helps you understand how the footprints were formed, which types of dinosaurs created them, and why this limestone platform is one of the most important Jurassic sites in Europe.
You will clearly see the movement, scale and behaviour of the dinosaurs that once crossed this ancient surface. Next, explore the spectacular Mira Aire Cave, one of Portugals Seven Natural Wonders. The guided visit takes you through a descent of about seventy five metres, passing illuminated chambers, unique rock formations and flowing water shaped over thousands of years.
Along the route you receive clear explanations about the geology, the formations and the history of the cave. A lift brings you back to the surface at the end of the tour. To complete the journey, visit the magical town of Obidos, one of Portugals best preserved medieval villages.
Your guide provides historical context about the town, its defensive walls and its role over the centuries, helping you understand the importance of this fortified settlement. Afterwards, you are free to explore the streets and atmosphere of Obidos at your own rhythm.
