THE ROUTE
Taking you through the centre of Cortes and coming to an end in Fátima, this route winds down a mixture of paved roads, dirt tracks and forest trails.
The enormous biodiversity of fauna and flora walkers will come across, as well as the various agricultural and forest areas, are only some of the aspects that make this trail so enjoyable.
The stretches of trail past the João Soares House-Museum, Chapel of Our Lady of Memory and Boi Lake are particular highlights.
