Itinerary description
Go for a wonderful journey through the breathtaking nature park Arriba Fóssil da Costa da Caparica. This protected area is a natural treasure, home to unique geological formations and a rich variety of plant and bird life.
Your adventure begins on charming wooden paths, Passadiços da Mata dos Medos, through the forest and dunes. As you leave the wooden paths, the trail becomes sometimes a bit sandy, resembling small dunes, but it's still easy and fun to walk on.
The path passes stunning viewpoints overlooking cliffs, beaches, and the vast ocean. These viewpoints have information boards, so you can learn about the area's fascinating history and nature.
Your walk ends at Fonte da Telha, a quaint fishing village where you can relax and enjoy a meal or a drink at a local restaurant or beach bar. The village's cozy atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind after your walk.
For those who love beach walks, you can continue from Fonte da Telha along the beach, all the way to Costa da Caparica (+/- 8 km walk). It's a great way to enjoy the ocean and feel the sand under your feet.
This walk is a "Casa René Tip" because of its unique beauty and the chance to experience nature up close.
