Hike in Sintra
ABOUT US
Go with the flow
We climb to Cruz Alta, the highest point in the mountain, looking for inspiration. We walk in the mountains, encountering nature and ourselves.
We slow down mindfully in the present moment to feel the energy of the forest. We observe thoughts, feelings and sensations, without attachment or aversion, with an expanded awareness of the impermanence of things.
We visit the emblematic monuments of the natural park and tell their stories. We love sharing these experiences with everyone. Come with us!
Mario Rui Santos
I usually guide more on internal paths but I also really enjoy walking and accompanying on external and ground paths.
And whenever I can, I combine the two paths and the two walks.
Because what is inside is like what is outside and what is outside is like what is inside.
Catarina Santos
I am a walker, whether on paths outside or inside myself.
I love sharing my teachings through yoga, meditation and dance.
Doing it in this group of incredible people, along paths that promise to take hikers and teams on unique journeys is simply fantastic.
Inês Manso
I am a walker. I don't know if I am a guide, but I believe that we are all guided and guides in the dance of life. And it is through sharing that each step of the way is born. For my part, I like to share about yoga, meditation, aura reading, permaculture and everything that puts us in touch with ourselves, with each other and with nature. What better place than Sintra for this intersection of encounters?

Miguel Mello
I like hiking, it's easy and it's good for almost everything. I also like to meditate, it's not that easy but it's good for everything else. I love hanging out with hiking friends. I get up from the couch and go for a walk in the mountain forest, sometimes alone, sometimes with others. The energy of nature is invigorating. Just go!
Catarina Rocha-Paris
I'm the copilot, I try to maintain group cohesion and relax. I like helping and teaching participants how to follow the path and enjoy the experience. I try to overcome vertigo at the highest points and follow the leader in all challenges.
Buddha
Siddhartha Gautama, (563 BC) was a prince overprotected by his father. Only at the age of 29 did Buddha have his first contact with the reality of old age, illness and death. He became curious and decided to find the cause of the suffering. After 6 years of meditation and search for truth, Buddha achieved enlightenment and spent the rest of his life teaching his discoveries, that everything is an illusion.
