What will you discover in Serra da Freita?

On one single day go back 350 millions years to see ancient continents colliding, with such power that Earth’s crust got squeezed and deformed like plasticine, melted and re-melted, faulted and thrusted until a super-continent was born.

Ancient mountains were formed and colossal amounts of magma were crystallised at depth. From then onwards these were eroded, uplifted, faulted and reworked by the natural agents, like sculptors carving blocks of rock. The fantastic landscapes and features that emerged inspired humans in the creation of myths and legends to explain processes that today geoscience shed a light on.
