About this activity

This is not a typical hike it is a private journey into a wild landscape just south of Lisbon, where nature, history, and spirituality meet. No crowds, no tourist paths only cliffs, ocean, and silence.

We follow coastal trails to discover real dinosaur footprints preserved in the rock, over 160 million years old. You do not just see them, you stand where they once walked.

For the more adventurous, there is an optional descent toward a hidden beach, adding a sense of discovery to the experience.

The route is easy, around 3.3 km, suitable for most travelers, including families. No rush, just time to enjoy the moment.

Cabo Espichel is also one of Portugal’s most important sacred sites. Along the way, I share stories while adapting the experience to your pace. A simple local tasting adds a memorable touch.

Availability is limited, advance booking is recommended.

Itinerary

Cabo Espichel

one hour

At Cabo Espichel, travelers step into a dramatic coastal landscape where towering cliffs meet the vast Atlantic Ocean. This iconic headland is known not only for its breathtaking views, but also for its unique blend of nature, history, and spirituality.

Here, you’ll walk along wild cliffside paths, take in panoramic ocean views, and explore one of Portugal’s most important sacred sites, where pilgrims have gathered for centuries. It’s a place that feels both powerful and deeply peaceful.
Parque Natural da Arrabida

one hour

This entire experience takes place within the stunning Arrábida Natural Park, part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and one of Portugal’s most beautiful protected landscapes. Surrounded by lush green hills, dramatic cliffs, and the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll be immersed in nature from start to finish.

Known for its rich biodiversity and breathtaking viewpoints, this unique environment invites you to slow down, breathe, and fully connect with the landscape.
Stop 3

one hour

At Pedra da Mua, you’ll encounter one of the most remarkable prehistoric sites in Portugal. Here, real dinosaur footprints — over 160 million years old — are preserved in the cliffside rock.

These tracks were left by massive sauropods that once crossed this ancient landscape. Standing here, you don’t just observe history — you step into it, walking alongside the same paths these giants once followed.
