Explore the Protected Landscape of Serra do Açor with expert interpretation

Visit the Interpretation Centre, Eira House museum, refuse oven, and Quinta’s mill

Experience the traditional craft of wooden spoon making in Pardieiros

Discover the breathtaking Fraga da Pena waterfall

This circular walking tour offers an enriching journey through the stunning Serra do Açor, one of Portugal’s most remarkable natural and cultural landscapes. As you explore this protected sanctuary, expert guides will share insights into its unique flora, fauna, and the deep connection between nature and human settlement. The route reveals a living museum of history and tradition, including visits to the reserve’s Interpretation Centre, the Eira House museum showcasing traditional rural crafts, the refuse oven once used in basketry production, and the Quinta’s historic mill. In the picturesque village of Pardieiros, you’ll also witness the artisanal crafting of wooden spoons, a practice that reflects the enduring heritage of the region.

The trail continues through the serene beauty of Mata da Margaraça, one of the last remaining pockets of native Portuguese forest. Home to oak and chestnut trees, as well as remnants of the ancient Laurissilva forest, it offers a glimpse into the country’s natural past. You’ll also visit the magnificent Fraga da Pena waterfall, surrounded by lush vegetation and dramatic rock formations. Though the path is moderately steep in places, the scenery and cultural richness make it a deeply rewarding experience.
