Description:
Head north to the pilgrimage town of Fátima, and start by visiting the natural wonder of the Moeda Caves. See 4 places where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to 3 shepherd children, as well as their home village. Then, attend mass at the Chapel of the Apparitions in the Sanctuary of Fátima.
Hop aboard a comfortable coach, and leave Algarve behind as you head toward Fátima. Your first stop is at Moeda Caves. Located 148 feet (45 m) below the surface, venture through this natural wonder of stalactites and stalagmites. Follow your guide as you admire several stunning limestone formations and an underground waterfall.
Next, head to the Sanctuary of Fátima, which is visited by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world each year. It is one of the most important sites to the Catholic faith because it's here where 3 shepherd children—Francisco, Jacinta, and Lúcia—reported witnessing an apparition of the Virgin Mary.
Your guide explains the story of the children who were chosen by “Our Lady” to have 3 secrets revealed to them. See their birth home and the 4 places where the Holy Mother is said to have appeared. Admire the Chapel of Lausperene, the Chapel of Apparitions, and a monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Pause for lunch at your leisure, and then see the tombstones of the 3 young visionaries. Afterward, you have the option to join a mass in the impressive Chapel of the Apparitions.
