Meeting point

Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara

On arrival

Upon arriving at Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, you’ll notice it has a lower level, which you can access via stairs on both sides at the front of the lookout. Down there, you’ll find wooden benches arranged in a circle. I’ll be waiting for you in the center.

Things to note

It’s very important to bring water and a hat, as there are parts of the tour with no shade. Sunglasses are also recommended. If you’re bringing kids, please be mindful of the narrow sidewalks and note that there will be some uphill walking, which might require a bit of stamina from them.

Free Cancellation

You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
