Have you ever imagined walking in mountain like the Himalayan? And why not know ancient oceans over 300 million years old? And soon thereafter find under your feet evidence of the exact moment of the opening and formation of the Atlantic Ocean. And the beach sand, what is it made of and where does it come from?

Over a day in the southwest of the Algarve it will be possible to identify and interpret approximately 400 million years of Earth's history. With several stops with short walks, in a fun and uncomplicated way we will go together on this journey through Earth history always with our feet flat on the ground. It is an opportunity for beginners, curios or experts to look at the landscape in another way. In the end, you will be able to read some of the stories that the rocks tell us and better understand our own story.
