Lousã , Shist Villages and Biodiversity

Explore villages revitalized by community projects, where abandoned houses are given new life, and meet locals dedicated to sustainable initiatives. Participate in tree nurseries cultivating native species to support reforestation, or visit traditional workshops to learn the art of bread and cheese making.

Encounter shepherds and their flocks, or discover the rich wildlife of the Lousã Biological Park, gaining a closer connection to the Serra da Lousã’s fauna. Enjoy a delicious lunch with local producers, savoring the flavors of the region, and if you wish, you can also book a guided hike to immerse yourself in the surrounding landscapes. This journey is more than a tour—it’s a celebration of community, sustainability, and the authentic way of life in Portugal’s hidden villages.
