About the night walk with Miguel Aboim - Miguel provides you with a very nice night walk through Sintra's Hills, exploring the fantastic forest and cutting through the moon beams. He emphasizes something which I personally adore and believe, the importance of remaining silent and avoid the use of lanterns, so you can be more connected with the raw nature that surrounds you. He therefore gives you green light lanterns to enable night vision in the darkest pathways. He also stops along the way were people can rest whilst listen to his exciting historical Chronicles about the ancient Sintra. Loved it and truly recommend it.

Night walk in Sintra - The fact that the walk is at night gives the experience that extra uplifting one might sometimes need when thinking about a 6km hike through the mountain… the stories cheer you up and make you forget about time or distance. The experience is magical and scenery just so very beautiful. The guide is very knowledgeable and keeps everyone safe. Will be coming back for more!

5* - Caminheiro Sintra (Miguel) has the gift of transporting us through time and making us feel all the magic of the mountain, its stories, its legends... He is someone with a great knowledge of the history of Sintra and who has a big passion for what he does. I highly recommend any of their hikes.
