Detailed itinerary

1

Begin your adventure by descending into Portugal's largest and most spectacular cave system. This hidden natural wonder features a series of illuminated limestone caverns, underground lakes, and breathtaking formations. A 90-minute guided walk through these "underground cathedrals" offers a unique perspective on the geological beauty of the Estremadura Limestone Massif.

2

Step back in time at the humble village of Aljustrel. We visit the original home of Lúcia dos Santos, the eldest of the three visionaries. Walking through these preserved rooms provides a moving glimpse into the simple, rural life of the Portuguese countryside in the early 20th century, setting the stage for the story of the apparitions.

3

Located just a few steps away, we explore the birthplace of the siblings Francisco and Jacinta. This house, now a site of global pilgrimage, remains an authentic testament to the faith and daily life of the children who were canonized as the youngest non-martyr saints in the history of the Church

4

Experience the powerful and peaceful atmosphere of one of the world's most significant Catholic shrines. We visit the heart of the Sanctuary: the Chapel of the Apparitions, built on the exact spot where the Virgin Mary appeared in 1917. You will have ample time for reflection and to soak in the spiritual energy of this sacred space.

5
Stop 5

Adorned with a majestic 65-meter bell tower, this Neo-Baroque basilica is the final resting place of the three visionaries: Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta. Inside, you will find a space of profound silence and devotion, surrounded by beautiful altars and stained glass.

6

Discover the modern side of faith at this impressive contemporary basilica. As one of the largest Christian churches in the world, its minimalist and award-winning architecture was designed to welcome nearly 9,000 pilgrims. It stands as a symbol of Fátima's enduring global importance in the 21st century.
