Explore our woods

Challenge yourself to enter the Quintãs forest at your own pace, exploring shaded trails, secret clearings, and centuries-old trees. At any moment, you can slow down to enjoy the silence, choose a place to read a book, or just feel the ground and take a deep breath, surrounded by the essence of nature.

If you prefer, embark on a guided discovery and deepen your connection to the land while learning interesting facts about the local flora and fauna. Bring the family for a picnic among the vegetation, share stories, and enjoy simple, authentic, and relaxing moments. Here, each outing becomes an invitation to slow down and create unique memories.

Guided animal feeding

The connection between guests and animals is an essential part of the Quintãs experience. Participating in guided feeding is to immerse yourself in the daily life of the farm: feeling, observing, and learning while distributing affection and food to deer, zebras, alpacas, donkeys, pigs, chickens, and exotic birds. Each moment is an opportunity to bring the whole family closer to nature, promoting respect and fascination for the animal world.

Guided by those who know each species, you can safely feed the animals, discover unique facts about their habits, and enjoy the simple joy of sharing smiles with those who live in the countryside. Here, kids and adults alike become part of farm life and create fond and educational memories, in harmony with nature.

Honey harvest: a flavor that lasts forever

Discover the magic of beekeeping by participating in the honey harvest directly from the hives at Quintãs.

By harvesting your own honey, you will not only enjoy a unique experience, but also learn to appreciate the balance of nature and the importance of small gestures.

At the end, you take home a jar of honey that you helped to collect — a special souvenir, full of authenticity, flavor, and memories. Every drop will always be a sweet reminder of your stay at Quintãs Farm Houses and the deep connection to the land and rural life experienced in this place.
