Faith, Atlantic light and the Age of Discovery
A Portugal-focused pilgrimage centred on the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, weaving together the great Marian and monastic sites of central Portugal, from the Cova da Iria to Batalha and the clifftop shrine of Nazare.
A suggested flow for Fatima Pilgrimage & the Marian Heartland. Every day is flexible, we build the final routing, pace and hotels around you.
Your journey begins in Lisbon. Arrival and welcome; transfer to your hotel and an evening orientation of the Portuguese capital. Timings stay flexible, with room to linger where you like.
On to Lisbon. Belem district with the Jeronimos Monastery, burial place of Vasco da Gama, and the Tower of Belem, then the National Sanctuary of Christ the King across the Tagus. Your guide sets an easy pace, leaving space to wander or simply take it in.
Today brings you to Fatima. Transfer to Fatima; the Chapel of the Apparitions at the Cova da Iria, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary with the tombs of the shepherd children Francisco, Jacinta and Lucia, and the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity. We build in free time so the day feels unhurried, never rushed.
Today brings you to Fatima. The shepherds' home village of Aljustrel and the Valinhos apparition site, followed by the candlelight rosary procession in the sanctuary prayer area. There's room to add an optional experience or keep the day open.
Today brings you to Santarem. Visit Santarem and the Church of the Holy Miracle, a revered Eucharistic shrine, then continue north through the Ribatejo countryside. Evenings are yours, whether to explore further or unwind.
