Brief introduction to local geological and cultural heritage.

Batista Amado Park – DE starting point to feel the Earth alive Between the silence DA Mendiga and the murmuring DA mountain, the Batista Amado Park is where the journey begins. Here, the stone and water have met for millions DE years, shaping the territory and teaching us how to listen to the landscape. It is the natural portal to the Water Roof, where the limestone breathes and the rain draws ephemeral shapes. In this space DE balance between man and nature, each step prepares the visitor for what follows: the total immersion in the cársic heart of the Natural Park of the Serras DE Aire y Candeeiros.

Walking with Giants Forget the traditional museums. Walk side by side with the true fossil footprints left by prehistoric sauropods. Learn how these marks have been perfectly preserved in limestone over the ages.

POR between hidden trails and lapias fields we will make a light walk between stones carved by rain and weather. The Lapa dos Pocilgões, located near DE Cabeço das Pombas, is one of the most iconic caves of the Extremenho Calcário Massive. Excavated over thousands OF years by the action OF water on the limestone, combines archaeological, geological and symbolic value. It has been inhabited since Prehistory, witnesses the ancient occupation of the mountains. Today, the visitor finds a cavity DE great natural beauty. POR que visitar : A notable example OF underground cársic morphology and the power OF water erosion. A place DE great historical and scientific significance, used POR human communities for millennia. Point DE connection between nature, archaeology and spirituality of the territory. The Lapa dos Pocilgões is the moment when you enter the interior DA the mountain, a literal dive into the geological and human history of PNSAC.

The Jurassic Beach is one of the most fascinating sites in the Natural Park of the Serras DE Aire y Candeeiros. Today it is a plain OF dry limestone, but about 170 million DE years ago it was the bottom OF a coastal lagoon, where marine animals left their traces. The animals preserved in the rock tell the story DE a lost coastline, a shallow, warm and full DE life sea that remained recorded forever. It is a place that unites science, imagination and contemplation, where the visitor can literally walk on the ancient seabed. On the tour “Between Rocks and Silences”: The Jurassic Beach is the point where the territory reveals its oceanic past. A moment when the visitor understands that the mountain has already been sea, and that the Earth is always in transformation.

The Earth's Amphitheatre Contemplate the edge of an impressive structural depression 500 meters wide, carved solely by water and time. Discover the science behind the formation of this unique natural amphitheater.
