Overview

Together we will be peeling back the layers of history on this Dolmens Mystery Tour.

Discover seven rarely visited neolithic sites, some dating back over 6000 years.

Feel close to the ancient ancestor spirits at the impressive Orca Dolmen complex located in the beautiful expansive territory of Central Portugal.

Once a densely populated region known as Lusitania, we will explore the history of the land and its people amongst then Viriato, a historical hero. He fought and won many battles against the Roman conquest.

Hear the official history of the dolmens along with the various theories surrounding the purpose of these neolithic sites.

Participate in simple rituals to connect with the land, our ancestors and yourself.
