Évora & the Cork Farm: A full-day jeep and walking passage through Alentejo’s living history.
This full‑day Eco Trilha excursion threads together Évora’s UNESCO‑listed old town—its Roman temple and the macabre Chapel of Bones—with a hands‑on afternoon on a family cork estate, where cork harvesting and the open Alentejo landscape sit plain to see. The day is paced as a relaxed, small‑group outing that includes regional lunch and transfers from Lisbon.
