Description

Located near the beautiful capital city of Lisbon in Portugal, the Cape Espichel in Sintra is an absolute wonder to explore.

Positioned in the Sesimbra Natural Park, the Cape Espichel is home to two major dinosaur footprint sites. Those sites are the Pedra da Mua track that has tracks from the late Jurassic era and the Jazidas de Lagosteiros track that has tracks from the Cretaceous period. Both of these spots will blow your mind as you see mammoth tracks dating back tens of millions of years!

During this trek, the dinosaur tracks are not the only incredible things you will be seeing. You will also get to enjoy some magical costal views. And, you will also get to visit the Sao Domingos da Baralha fortress.

This is not a difficult trek. As a result, it is ideal for families, as the kids will love seeing the dinosaur tracks. However, because the route is approximately 11 kilometers long, participants should be in good physical condition.

The Cape Espichel is an astoundingly stunning place. The history, the views and the atmosphere are nothing short of incredible. To join us on a day long trek through this wonderful area, all you have to do is send a request.

We can also take you on a hiking trip to the Pena Palace and the Castle of the Moors in Sintra.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
