There is something unique and peaceful about following a river downstream. Next to the ancient ruins of Conimbriga, the Passadiço do Rio dos Mouros offers a beautiful escape to nature.

This modern wooden walkway winds through a landscape that has been shaped by our far ancestors. It is interesting to see the old walls collide with the new modern pathways. However, the bridges and paths make access a lot easier and allow for spectacular views and waterfalls. There is even a very intriguing cave to explore for those who are brave enough.

The passage of time usually invites us to ponder our origins. And in this calm, natural landscape, it is even easier to see why the Romans and even older tribes decided to setup a city here.
