With rock art, the experience is significantly enhanced when accompanied by one of our specialists. They will provide the keys to uncovering enigmatic meanings and help you better perceive the ancient carvings on the stone.
Join us to explore the highlights of the Archaeological Site, as well as our Bronze Age village recreation. Please check the schedule for daily guided tour times.

NIGHT TOURS
By day, the petroglyphs are fascinating. By night, they become truly magical. Nights at PAAR (Noites no PAAR) offers a unique perspective on rock art, specifically designed to showcase the carvings in their full beauty.
By using powerful raking light to sweep across the stones, the motifs "emerge" from the rock surface through a dramatic play of light and shadow that reveals their true essence. In the darkness, this specialised lighting enhances every line and figure, allowing you to discover details and secrets that remain hidden by daylight.
Come and find out why night is the absolute best time to explore the mysteries of the Campo Lameiro rocks.

- Exclusive tour of the Archaeological Site led by a specialist after the Park has closed to the general public.
