Run away from the city’s confusion, forget the stressful days and come rest in the Geopark. Breed the calming environment and discover what nature has to offer.
Because it is a region of peaceful nature, the Naturtejo becomes the ideal place for who privileges both physical and mental well-being. When you arrive, you will feel that peacefulness was invented here, in a region where the water is calm and the atmosphere is relaxed.
Subterranean waters in this region flow through formations of sediments, schist, quartz and granite, in association with profound faults of recent tectonic activity, responsible for the emergence of important water springs in the Naturtejo region.
In the Naturtejo territory there are four thermal complexes, the Termas de Monfortinho (Idanha-a-Nova), Termas da Fradagosa (Nisa), Termas da Fonte Santa e Termas de S. Tiago (Penamacor). These sites are a true refugee for those who are looking to relax, physically or mentally, located in privileged natural landscapes.
