We went with Aventuras Forte-s to the Serra de Brasfemes with the goal to find fossils. Not only we found them, but Sergio, who is so passionate about it, came with some rare samples to show us (and carried them just to educate us) ;-) But it is finally Fatima, our second tour guide, who found most of the fossils (and offered them to us). We could not hope for more, one guide with historical details and the other guide with sharp eyes to find plenty of them. This was a wonderful experience, that we can only recommend if you are in the Coimbra area. We cannot wait to do a new adventure with them in the near future. Thanks again.

Muito bom! Uma equipa profissional e simpática, que nos mostrou uma serra esquecida tão perto de Coimbra. Da vegetação aos fósseis, da paisagem às histórias do local, o Sérgio e a Fátima foram-nos mostrando uma diversidade de aspectos ao longo da caminhada. A repetir :)
