Step away from the tourist crowds and enter the shadows of the "Moon Mountain." This exclusive private night tour is a journey into the Dark Tourism side of Sintra, blending driving with rugged forest trekking. Guided by a local expert, you will uncover the mountain’s most enigmatic secrets: from the prehistoric burial site of Tholos do Monge and the hidden Loba Cave to the eerie ruins of the Fonte Velha Aqueduct.

As we traverse the forest under the moonlight, you will explore ancient pagan sites like the Goddess Stone and witness the breathtaking, windswept views from the Peninha Sanctuary. Please note: This experience involves approximately 3km of hiking on rocky, uneven terrain and is designed for the adventurous soul. It is a night of legends, mysteries, and the raw, haunting beauty of a Sintra that few ever see. Experience the mountain’s true spirit where history meets the supernatural.
