Trails of Wonder: Hiking for nature lovers & meaning seekers

A Sunset, Moonrise & Full Moon Night Walk

Join us as we journey around Cabo Espichel, where sheer limestone cliffs plunge 130 meters into the wild Atlantic. For the Romans, it was Promontorium Barbarium—the sacred boundary where the spirits resided and the sun sank into the unknown. A timeless landscape rich in history.

Our walk begins by stepping into the quiet grandeur of the 18th-century sanctuary complex, where centuries of pilgrims journeyed across the mountains to honour the miraculous vision of Nossa Senhora da Pedra Mudar.

As twilight approaches, we will find a quiet perch overlooking the ocean to sit for a group sunset meditation while the sky turns to soft hues of gold and amber.

But the true magic unfolds after dark. Guided only by the silvery glow of the full moon rising over the headland, we will embark on a gentle stroll along the moon-illuminated coastal paths. With our senses heightened by the night and the rhythmic crash of the waves below, we will take in the wonder of the moonlight before heading home refreshed, connected, and renewed.

Don't miss it! :-)

Join us for a contemplative coastal walk along the breathtaking turquoise waters and limestone cliffs of the Serra da Arrábida.

Our route takes us through centuries of human presence—from a cave sanctuary carved by the sea to 17th-century fortifications, to the whitewashed village of Portinho da Arrábida tucked right below the green hills. Continuing to 2,000-year-old Roman ruins— we will finally arrive at Praia dos Coelhos, a secluded, wild bay nestled at the foot of the mountain

The ocean here is clear and calm, shifting from turquoise to emerald and long cherished by fishermen and local monks as a peaceful haven.

A wonderful landscape to slow down, breathe in the sea air, and feel connected to the timeless beauty of this coast.

Join us for a day of unforgettable beauty!
