Description

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure through the lush forests and sheer coastline of the UNESCO world heritage landscape! Climb aboard the legendary restored vintage Portuguese UMM Jeep and tackle the best of the Sintra region, feeling the wind in your hair as we go off-road through the lush forests of Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and the seaside cliffs of mainland Europe’s westernmost point, Cabo da Roca. We will also hike, starting at Peninha Sanctuary, from where you can catch 360-degree views of the forest, ocean, Lisbon, Sintra, and Cascais. The trail wanders through one of the most amazing and mystical forests in the world. Up here on the mountain, a microclimate allows all types of plants and trees from around the globe to grow, from pines to ferns, plus some mysterious secrets.

To recharge the energy we will have a traditional Portuguese picnic in Sintra’s mystical woods and taste some local pastries and liqueur while listening to some stories, myths, and legends of this magical place.

Host Intro

A young adventure-seeking lad born and raised in Sintra, Chico always wanted his own vintage military 4×4 (and to avoid a desk job, obviously). He and his crew of Portuguese amigos run experiences and journeys in Sintra and Cascais, just 40 minutes west of Lisbon. They all have been taking the path less traveled and exploring the mysterious forests, hilltop castles, and sheer coastline since they could sneak past mum’s watchful eyes. Now they will share their best-kept secrets with you.
