Detailed itinerary

The Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima is an iconic pilgrimage site that every Catholic must visit. It is a large complex that includes the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the Chapel of the Epiphany and a large square in front of the Basilica. Pilgrims from all over the world gather here for prayer, contemplation and spiritual comfort. The story of Fatima dates back to 1917, when three little shepherdesses claimed to have witnessed a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary. These apparitions, now known as 'Our Lady of Fatima', attracted worldwide attention and have since become a cornerstone of Catholic piety. Don't miss the opportunity to see the town of Fatima itself. Learn about the local culture, sample traditional Portuguese cuisine and meet the warm and welcoming local community. You'll find that Fatima offers a blend of spiritual devotion and genuine hospitality.

The Mira de Aire caves are part of a vast limestone massif and are one of the most impressive cave systems in Portugal. The intricate formations, created by water over thousands of years, create an otherworldly landscape that captivates visitors. This natural treasure was discovered in 1947 and reaches a depth of 180 metres. The caves are illuminated by coloured lights that highlight the beauty of the stalagmite and stalactite formations and the strange limestone shapes formed over millions of years. One of the main attractions of the Mira de Aire caves is the underground river that flows through them. Its crystal clear water meanders through the caves and adds another layer of interest and beauty to the experience. Crossing the river on a footbridge is an unforgettable part of the trip. Guided tours are available to help you safely explore the caves while learning about their geological history and the delicate balance of the underground ecosystem.
