Overview

This Private Hike is led by a Sintra Local that was raised exploring all of the surrounding areas with a lot of knowledge of the region. This is why we thought of creating this hike, which is just like the hikes we use to do as locals! We tailored this experience thinking of people that enjoy a good hike and unlike walking tours, (which are usually briefer and don't explore the mountain region) have several secrets in store which are not showned on a more general tour of sintra and only known by locals.

What's Included

  • Snacks Queijadas of Sintra
  • Alcoholic beverages A round of Sintra Mead!
