Sinkholes and Caves: The Subterranean World
Discover what lies beneath your feet (claustrophobics, consider yourselves warned).
- Algar do Pena: A 35-meter-deep sinkhole featuring Portugal’s largest underground chamber, over 50 meters below the observation platform.
- Lapa do Alqueidão do Arrimal: A limestone cave adorned with stunning stalactites and stalagmites, showcasing natural sculptures formed over millennia.
- Lapa dos Pocilgões: A cave accessible via a marked trail in the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Nature Park, near Cabeço das Pombas (São Bento, Porto de Mós), offering a glimpse into the region’s subterranean beauty.

A Fórnea: A Natural Amphitheatre That Needs No Hype
This circular karst depression is a rare geological phenomenon, shaped over thousands of years. With a 500-meter diameter and limestone walls 160 meters high, it’s a natural spectacle that needs no exaggerated adjectives.
A Fórnea impresses with its silent grandeur. No marketing tricks here—just the raw power of nature sculpted over time.
Diameter: 500 m
Wall height: 160 m
SUV Tours: the exact right kind of comfort
So you won’t complain (too much).
- 🚙 AWD Vehicle: Equipped for the park’s rugged terrain
- 💺 6 Passengers: Comfortable seating for small groups
- 💚 Safety Gear: Equipment for exploring the Park
The SUV isn’t luxury—but it gets you safely to the park’s most remote spots. The air conditioning works (most of the time), and the seats are decent. Don’t expect a limousine—but at least you won’t be walking…unless you want to.
Probably the best Tour I’ve ever taken!
