What you can expect

Enchanted Monsanto: Exploring a Timeless Village on a Tour lasting approximately 8 hours.

Meeting Point: Beira Tours, Castelo Branco, Portugal
Our adventure begins at our office, a hotel pick up by request or a transfer from different locations can be arranged (please contact us), where a warm welcome awaits you.

Gather your fellow travellers as we embark on a memorable exploration of the region's hidden gems.

Idanha-a-Velha: A Step Back in Time
Our first stop takes us to the historic village of Idanha-a-Velha, where time seems to stand still.

Stroll through ancient streets and immerse yourself in the rich history of the area. Visit the North Door, the Church, the Pillory, the Olive Mill, the Roman Bridge, and the intriguing Epigraphic File, each revealing tales of bygone eras.

Monsanto: A Walk Among Giants
We make our way to the captivating Village of Monsanto in Portugal.

Perched atop a granite hill in Portugal, Monsanto Village epitomises a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and natural landscape. Its stone houses seamlessly integrated within colossal boulders evoke a mesmerising, almost surreal, atmosphere, offering visitors a glimpse into centuries of history and cultural richness.

Walking through the Monsanto House of the Dragon feels like stepping into a realm where legends whisper from every weathered stone, weaving an enchanting narrative through its corridors.

When reaching the top of Monsanto Castle you´ll be fulfilled with the most beautiful panoramic view you can imagine.

Each step is a revelation, each corner a glimpse into the past.

Lunch time: In a world filled with fast food and global chains, dining at a local restaurant is like savouring a piece of the town's heart, where flavours tell stories and every dish is a reminder of the community's unique identity (lunch is not included).

Fossils Route in Penha Garcia: A Journey Through Time
Our path continues with a 1.5 km pedestrian walk along the Fossils Route.

This part of the tour offers an opportunity to connect with nature and the earth's history. Marvel at the Waterfall and River Beach (where a cooling bath is allowed in summer time), witness the ancient Castle, and experience the wonders hidden within the landscape.

Return to Castelo Branco: Reliving the day's memories as the sun begins its descent, we return to Castelo Branco, our hearts and minds filled with the magic of the day. The memories of our explorations in these charming villages will stay with you long after the tour concludes.

This tour promises to be a delightful blend of history, culture, and nature, and we can't wait to share this enchanting journey with you.

A destination you absolutely must visit during your holiday through Portugal!

Come with us, let's create memories together!!!
