Additional Information

Embark on a journey with us to unearth fossils that date back millions of years along an exclusive path amidst rolling hills in Serra do Alhastro!

This overlooked location is a treasure trove of nearly forgotten arts and crafts, where every rock, plant and animal has a tale to unfurl….

Characteristic for its limestone composition, the mountain range grants the chance to examine various fossil traces from the Devonian era (ammonites) that vanished in the K-T extinction, marking the end of the Cretaceous period, which also spelled doom for the dinosaurs.

The area is also replete with remnants of its historical human inhabitants and their traditions; the ruins of old windmills and bygone limestone quarries are a testament to this.

Fossil hunting Serra de Brasfemes - We went with Aventuras Forte-s to the Serra de Brasfemes with the goal to find fossils. Not only we found them, but Sergio, who is so passionate about it, came with some rare samples to show us (and carried them just to educate us) ;-) But it is finally Fatima, our second tour guide, who found most of the fossils (and offered them to us). We could not hope for more, one guide with historical details and the other guide with sharp eyes to find plenty of them. This was a wonderful experience, that we can only recommend if you are in the Coimbra area. We cannot wait to do a new adventure with them in the near future. Thanks again.
