Overview

Three incredible worlds in one unforgettable day.

From prehistoric giants to underground wonders and medieval walls.

Start by travelling 165 million years back in time and learn how the footprints were formed, which types of dinosaurs created them, and why this monument is one of the most important Jurassic sites in Europe. You will clearly see the movement, scale, and behaviour of these dinosaurs.

Next, explore the spectacular Mira de Aire Caves, one of Portugal's Seven Natural Wonders. The guided visit takes you through a descent of about 75 metres, passing illuminated chambers, unique rock formations, and flowing water shaped over thousands of years. A lift brings you back to the surface at the end of the tour.

To complete the journey, visit the magical town of Óbidos, one of Portugal's best preserved medieval villages. Your guide will provide historical context about the town, after which you will have free time to explore the streets and atmosphere of Óbidos at your own pace.
