• Sintra Mountains - Tapada do Mouco & The Sentry Box The evening adventure begins at the iron gates of Tapada do Mouco. In the shadow of the mountain, the journey pauses at the ancient stone sentry box (guarita) to introduce the legends and “dark history” that linger in these woods after dusk.

• Sintra Mountains - Tapada do Saldanha: The Rabbit Stone & Loba Cave The car is left behind for a 1km hike through the dense forest. The “Pedra do Coelho” (Rabbit Stone) is encountered before reaching the enigmatic “Gruta da Loba” (She-Wolf Cave), a place filled with ancient echoes and profound mountain silence.

• Sintra Mountains - The Giant Sequoias & The Hidden Aqueduct Returning to the vehicle, the journey continues to the entrance of the Sequoias. A brief walk reveals the moss-covered Aqueduct of Tapada da Fonte Velha, a 19th-century stone structure that appears as a gateway to another world under the moonlight.

• Sintra Mountains - Tholos do Monge & The Lost Fountain This is the core of the adventure. A rugged, stony path leads to the Tholos do Monge—a prehistoric burial site and the highest point on the mountain’s ridge. Along the way, a 19th-century fountain, recently rediscovered beneath the overgrowth, is visited.

• Sintra Mountains - The Sister Stones & The Goddess Stone Approaching the wilder side of the range, the journey stops at the “Pedras Irmãs” and the “Pedra da Deusa” (Goddess Stone). These enormous granite formations are linked to ancient pagan rituals and narrate the story of Sintra’s prehistoric spiritual origins.

• Sintra Mountains - Peninha Sanctuary: The Grand Finale The final destination is the windswept sanctuary of Peninha. Situated on a jagged cliff overlooking the Atlantic, the climb reaches the highest viewpoint.
