Back to the Past (jeep tour)

Overview

A jeep tour is the best way to get to know some of the unique aspects of the region.

Imagine yourself in a “time machine” and let yourself be transported…

We start at the Salinas de Rio Maior, and go back 900 years to discover its history and traditions.

A little further up, the windmills, testimonies of other times and other lives, guard the landscape made of stone, greenery and water;

We´ll look for marine fossils; we´ll unveil millenary cults; we´ll pass through the Middle Ages, and keep the secret of the “Moorish Pots”; We´ll admire columns carved by nature millions of years ago.

Let yourself be marvelled and surprised.
