Half Day Megaliths Cromlech Tour from Evora by Archaeologists
Overview
On this tour you’ll delve into Portugal’s Neolithic period (circa 5500 to 3000 BC) and explore two of the region’s earliest and most remarkable megalithic sites: the Menir of Almendres and the Cromlech of Almendres.
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.
Enjoy some time away from the city with a lovely walk through a cork forest, where these megaliths live.
Your tour guides are professional archaeologists specializing in the prehistory of the region and look forward to showing you some spectacular sites from Portugal's past.
