Embark on a 5-hour spiritual journey from Lisbon to Fatima Sanctuary and Little Shepherds Village. Experience the powerful spiritual energy of Fatima, one of the most sacred places in Christendom, and immerse yourself in the sacredness and mysticism of this incredible destination.
- Fátima - Fátima ranks as the fourth largest Catholic pilgrimage destination worldwide, attracting millions of devout followers each year. In 1917, three young shepherds experienced several apparitions of the Virgin Mary, cementing the site’s importance in religious history.
Built on the very location where the Virgin Mary appeared to the children, the Chapel of the Apparitions serves as a sacred place for reverence and prayer.
The Sanctuary includes the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and the contemporary Basilica of the Holy Trinity, both grand structures that embody architectural magnificence and spiritual significance.

Batalha Monastery - After lunch, explore Batalha Monastery, a Flamboyant Gothic style monument celebrated for its detailed stonework, vaulted ceilings, and elaborate chapels. A pinnacle of Manueline architecture, these chapels were designed as royal mausoleums but remain unfinished, showcasing intricate carvings and symbolism. The monastery’s cloisters feature tranquil gardens and covered walkways, offering a peaceful space for contemplation and reflection.
Batalha Monastery was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983, acknowledging its architectural and historical importance.
On Mondays, when Batalha Monastery is closed, we provide an alternative excursion to Valinhos and Loca do Anjo, both key sites linked to the Three Little Shepherds of Fátima. This tour offers a deeper understanding of the spiritual and historical context of the Fátima apparitions.
- Valinhos Sanctuary - This alternative tour offers a meaningful and enriching experience, connecting visitors with Portugal’s profound spiritual heritage and the lasting devotion inspired by the events of 1917.
Valinhos is where the Angel of Peace (Guardian Angel of Portugal) appeared to the three shepherd children before the Virgin Mary’s apparitions at Fátima. It has become a pilgrimage and prayer site, providing visitors with a serene environment for reflection and spiritual contemplation. Visitors can visit the Chapel of Valinhos and follow the Stations of the Cross, contemplating the events that led up to the Fátima apparitions.
Loca do Anjo is where the Angel of Portugal first appeared to the children, preparing them for the Virgin Mary’s subsequent apparitions. The site is crucial for understanding the spiritual journey of the three shepherd children and the messages the Angel conveyed to them.
