Get ready to discover the secrets of the impressive Serra da Estrela on board a comfortable 4×4 jeep! You'll drive through the most beautiful landscapes and emblematic sites of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park.
The formation of the mountains and glacial valleys can be explained during a visit to the Zêzere River Valley Interpretive Centre, which is included in this tour.
You'll also have the opportunity to learn about the pastoral traditions of the Serra and the process of making Burel, a Portuguese handicraft made from the wool of the region's sheep.
We'll round off your day in style with a small tasting of the famous (and delicious) Serra da Estrela cheeses, back at the Tower.
