In the hollow of the hills that level the Alentejo, Pego das Pias is a geological curiosity. Shaped by the waters, the rocks develop surprising shapes. Climbing or canyoning enthusiasts will find a pleasant playground here.

April 8, 2024,Pego das Pias – Eucalyptus Plantage Runde von Bairro do Símplicio

Parking directly at the car bridge. Taking a bit a longer route to Pego das Pias, along many flowers in Spring, then oak and eucalyptus forest. Crossing the river twice. End can be done differently avoiding the river crossing.
