Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

Here it's included the entry ticket to the perimeter (15€ park and palace) so you can decide if you want to stay at the stunning gardens of the almost 200 acres of lush exotic gardens and rivers with species from all over the world or also see the palace. If you wish to pass by the fairy-tail palace from the XIX century, designed to be the lush summer home of the portuguese royalty, you have tickets included to the inside and outside of the palace! With stunning views over the valley of Sintra-Cascais, you can see all the way until the coast-line. At the palace you also have a nice caffe where you can have a bite.

Stop 2

Having priority at the ticket office, we skip the line directly to the gardens of Regaleira, exotic like the Pena gardens, but with hand-made caves and tinny castles all over the place.

Just near the waterfalls we have the Free-Masonic Initiation Well from the XIX century, open to the public at day time. In here you will go down the 9 levels of Dante's Inferno, to find the Templar Cross with the 4 elements (wind, earth, fire, water)

After the first stage, the participants would have to "wonder through the bottom of hell" until they get to "the light at the end of the tunnel" where they will find the exit and reborn again. Outside and inside you can see many symbols of the free-masonry / templar order, among them many pentagrams said to represent the face of Baphomet
