Highlights
On this tour you’ll delve into Portugal’s Neolithic period (circa 5500 to 3000 BC) and explore the region’s most remarkable sites, including the Menir of Almendres, the Cromlech of Almendres, and the Great Dolmen of Zambujeiro.
The Alentejo is home to many megalithic structures, including cromlechs, menirs, and dolmens. It is during this period when agriculture emerged, along with many other significant cultural and social developments.
Your tour guides are archaeologists and look forward to showing you some spectacular sites from Portugal's past.
