Overview

On this tour you’ll delve into Portugal’s Neolithic & Chalcolithic periods (circa 5500 to 2200 BC) and explore several significant sites: the Outeiro Menir, the Xerez Cromlech, and the Dolmen of Olival da Pega.

The Alentejo is home to many megalithic structures, including cromlechs, menirs, and dolmens. It is during this period when agriculture emerged, along with many other significant cultural and social developments.

If you’re interested in prehistory, or the history behind prehistoric sites similar to Stonehenge, or even standing stones seen on shows like Outlander, we think you’ll really enjoy this trip!

Your tour guides are trained archaeologists and look forward to showing you some spectacular sites from Portugal's past.
