Ride from Fátima on a private e-bike toward Mira de Aire Caves, then continue through Serra de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park. The day is about underground time at the caves and park lanes on the bikes, not the Sanctuary circuit on the three-hour listing.

🚴 What to Expect
Fitting and a control check happen in Fátima before you leave town. You ride toward Mira de Aire for a visit to the caves, described as Portugal's largest. Named chambers inside are not promised here. Cave entry is not included, so allow time and a little cash or a card at the ticket desk. Closed-toe shoes with a decent sole matter once you are off the bikes, because cave floors can be damp and uneven.
The rest of the day is an exploration of Serra de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park on the e-bikes, with the guide keeping a short private line together on park roads and lanes. You return toward Fátima after about seven hours. You do not share the bikes with other bookings, and this listing does not go to Batalha Monastery or Ourém Castle. See the itinerary for the shape of the outing. Eat breakfast and bring water. This is a long day even with a motor.
📍 Location
The outing begins in Fátima, then leaves the sanctuary town behind for park country and underground stone. You meet in Fátima. Make your own way there; that journey is not in the price.
From there the ride heads toward Mira de Aire and through Serra de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park: limestone hills, park lanes, and a cave visit described as Portugal's largest. This is not the Lisbon riverfront, Sintra's palaces, or the three-hour sanctuary circuit. Cave floors can be damp once you are off the bikes, so the landscape above and below ground both ask for closed-toe shoes.
✅ Prerequisites
Every rider should be able to handle a bicycle for a long day on park lanes, including braking and riding in a short private line. The motor helps on rises. Attention at crossings still sits with you.
Height above 1.45 m is required for the frames. There is no numeric minimum age. Closed-toe shoes with a decent sole matter for both the bikes and damp cave floors. Mention health, confidence, or unease underground when you book so the briefing can be tailored.
💛 Why Choose Us
A private cap of five keeps the convoy small enough for park lanes and for a guide who can match the day to your party. The fitting in Fátima is a proper control check before a seven-hour outing, not a rushed send-off, which matters on park roads and at the cave entrance.
This is the nature day in the set: Portugal's largest caves plus Serra de Aire e Candeeiros on e-bikes, with time that belongs to your household. You get fitted helmets, assistance on the lanes, and an honest split between what the booking covers and cave tickets you pay at the desk.
