Having two protected nature parks on its doorstep, the Lisbon region has many hiking trails for you to enjoy. Even so, hiking, but for many of us, is emotionally and physically challenging. A walk in nature doesn't have to long and hard, instead turn to nature to soothe and heal. Spending more time in nature is good for you in both direct and subtle ways. It lowers your stress level, improves your health, and boosts your creativity.

Adrenaline seekers chasing Sintra’s wild side, with plenty of off-road 4WD adventure and unique, secret spots. Get down and dirty exploring Sintra’s wild heart – with a cheeky side of culture and food. We’ve been exploring this crazy beautiful and mysterious mountain landscape since we could slip past mum’s watchful eyes. So trust us that to really know Sintra you have to go beyond the walls of its many palaces. That said, it would be rude to drive past the UNESCO World Heritage town and not share a saucy story or two before we dive into the forest. Our restored ex-military vintage 4WDs look cool as hell but they’re also the best way to tackle the terrain in the wild, wild west. Our favourite unmarked secret trails will lead us to remote natural and built monuments that no other tourists ever reach. From untouched lakes to ancient hilltop convents, we’ll pull up at the coolest hidden gems and chase non-stop adventure in Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.

This adventure combines the best of both worlds. We’ll drive through historic Sintra town, turning off-road to reach the incredible 12th-century Santuario da Peninha. From the convent on the hill enjoy incredible and expansive views down to Cascais, Lisbon, Sintra while you lace up those boots. This two-hour hike wanders through (what we think is) 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. Halfway through the forest walk we’ll reach a megalithic structure that is essentially Portugal’s Stonehenge. Sitting 426 metres above sea level, its origins are a real mystery but there are theories. Next we’ll uncover an ancient collective grave from between 2500-1500BC that has its fair share of myths and legends surrounding it.

I am based in Cascais and I obviously know the hows and wheres. After meeting we will head to the promenade for an enjoyable 3km walk to Estoril and back. The route follows the sea walls and sea defences that line the beaches and rock outcrops of the coastline. The promenade is flat and is suitable to visitors of all ages and abilities. The Estoril promenade passes many of the region’s quaintest beaches and there are many interesting sights, historical buildings and outdoor cafes. Once we are back in Cascais we will get on our bikes and ride to the stunning, surfing beach of Praia de Guincho following a purpose built cycle path. This 10km round trip is an enjoyable half day tourist and local activity. The route follows the dramatic cliff coastline and passes multiple interesting sights. No shortage of cafes, patisseries, and restaurants along the way and when we finish.

Portuguese people love two things more than anything: the beach and food. In this full-day journey we combine the two by finishing with a picnic on the beach. But first, we get our hands dirty. Farmer’s markets are best in the morning, so we’ll pick you up in one of our legendary jeeps and roll straight over to hunt and gather the freshest local ingredients to craft an epic Portuguese picnic. Think cured meats, local cheese, fresh bread and ingredients for salad. After we’ll head to our mate Joao’s farm to meet and greet his furry and feathered friends. Here you’ll learn about his animals and you’ll get to brush a donkey or pony, pet rabbits, feed a goat, say hi to sheep and see a mini pig from Vietnam. All things that make us happy! Then we’ll swap the countryside for the coastline when we take our farmers’ market picnic to Magoito Beach. You might have 99 problems, but a beach ain’t one.

Enjoy the best gourmet food paired with gorgeous views of Sintra in this easy leisurely walk. After an exciting day exploring all the palaces and castles, wind down with tea and a sweet pastry and hear the stories that make this village special. Linger over fine wine and local cheeses as the hustle and bustle quiets down and the castle is illuminated against the stary sky.

On hikes we set out to discover the best that nature has to offer us, without leaving any noise, any trace, beyond our own footprints. Hiking is an excellent activity for those who want to connect with nature in a purer and simpler way, and in this way, connect with themselves. Our local and experienced guides will be happy to adapt the route, taking into account the interests and physical capacity of the athletes, and will take you on common and not so common trails, which will challenge our comfort zone. but always with safety as the basic pillar of our activities. These hikes have a strong educational and environmental component, because as we discover the terrain, we help to clean the environment, collecting debris that unfortunately stops more and more in more remote places. This is our way of helping Nature, as it gives us everything we need.
