Enjoy a day tour visiting some of the most famous natural sites of Central Portugal including impressive natural caves in the Serra d’Aire and Candeeiros Natural Park, water springs, Pia do Urso sensory Eco-park and the salt-pans of Rio Maior.
The day begins with a hotel pick-up and a short visit to Porto de Mós Medieval castle, built on the ruins of an ancient Roman stand guard. Continue the tour travelling along mountain roads that lead to the Serra d’Aire and Candeeiros Natural Park where we will visit the largest and most impressive Portuguese natural caves, that can be compared to a huge underground cathedral. The next stop will be at the sensory Park of Pia do Urso, where we can take a thirty minutes stroll along the pedestrian circuit, followed by free time for lunch.
After lunch we will visit the Olhos de Água do Alviela, one of the most important water springs in Portugal, Alcanede, a small town known for its quarries and the estuary salt-pans of Rio Maior, one of the main natural treasures of the region. Return at 6pm.
