Schist villages have already been called “magic villages”, their names sound like Romans, Arabs and even barbarians, but it is their characteristic appearance that makes them so fantastic. These structures dating back to medieval times exude an architectural beauty that is still difficult to match today, even more fascinating are the places where they are located due to the need to settle for pastoral and agricultural activities. During this adventure we will take you to know some of the most beautiful schist villages of Serra da Lousã as well as the breathtaking landscapes that this unique place has to offer… It includes a jeep ride through the Lousã mountain range and a visit to the beautiful Schist villages in the morning and a walk of about 6 km and an intermediate level of difficulty in the afternoon along some of the most beautiful trails in the mountain.

We enjoyed a fantastic day with Sérgio in the Serra da Lousã. He was very knowledgeable of the local history and wildlife, and he kept things moving at a pace that was comfortable for us. Highly recommended!

Sergio was an excellent guide, host, and personable companion. We were impressed with his historical, environmental, and cultural knowledge of the region. He made us a fabulous lunch recommendation at a spot we’d not have found otherwise. The Schist villages exceeded our expectations. All in all, a terrific experience with a gracious host!
