Sintra: The Getaway That Combines Magic and Adventure
Imagine a weekend where you get lost (in the best way possible) in the heart of the Sintra Mountains.
Even better, picture trails that wind through enchanted forests, palaces that look like they came straight out of fairy tales, and viewpoints with breathtaking scenery. Now add to this a group of adventurers like you, ready to explore every hidden corner of this natural paradise.
Welcome to the ultimate getaway that combines two of the most incredible hikes in Sintra: Pena Park and Monserrate Estate. Two distinct trails that, together, create an epic experience for those who want more than just a casual stroll through Sintra.
An adventure for those who want to truly experience Sintra
- Total distance: Approximately 15 km (split over two days).
- Difficulty: Moderate: perfect for those who enjoy a challenge without excess.
- Highlight: The hidden views of the Sintra Mountains and pure connection with nature.
Day 1: Pena Park – among palaces and magical forests
So, our adventure begins at the iconic Pena Park. From the very first steps, you'll realize this is no ordinary park. Dense forests, hidden lakes, and paths that seem to come straight out of a fantasy film.
In this way, the route takes us through iconic spots like the Chalet da Condessa d’Edla, a romantic retreat nestled amid lush vegetation. We ascend to the Cruz Alta, the highest point of the mountain range, where the views of the ocean and Lisbon will leave you speechless.
But there's more. The Lakes Valley, with its crystal-clear waters and elegant swans, is the perfect spot for a break before we continue to explore the lesser-known corners of the park.
Day 2: Monserrate Estate – Sintra's secret refuge
However, after the intensity of the first day, the second day brings a different vibe. Less touristy, more wild.
The Monserrate Estate is one of the best-kept secrets of the mountain range, where nature sets the rules.
In other words, you'll walk along trails surrounded by centuries-old trees, discover the serene Lagoa dos Mosqueiros, and explore viewpoints with out-of-this-world views. The sound of running water, the fresh breeze, and the smell of wet earth make this place a true sanctuary for those seeking a more authentic connection with nature.
