Serra da Estrela: Nature’s Highlights
- 4 hours
- Private Tour
- Pickup: Covilhã
In the highest mountain range in mainland Portugal, aboard a 4×4 vehicle, we will show you some of the most beautiful landscapes and emblematic sites of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park.
The formation of the mountains, the glacial valleys, and other natural phenomena that impress us can be explained during a visit to the Zêzere Valley interpretive center.
On this tour, you will also have the opportunity to learn about the pastoral traditions of the mountains and the process of making Burel wool.
We will end the day at the top of the mountains, at the Tower, with a tasting of mountain cheeses.
