The Sic\u00f3 Hills is home to one of Portugal's most imposing natural settings: the Casmilo holes<\/strong>. As the name suggests, they consist of large openings in the limestone rock, giving rise to a valley with breathtaking scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several holes in this area: some are smaller and you can't even enter them, while others are larger and more imposing, reaching ten meters in diameter and five meters deep. At the same time, some holes are easily accessible, while others are high up and can only be visited by climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get to know this incredible scenery, you have two different options: you can choose to visit the 'Buracas' directly or take a trail through the surrounding area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you just want to visit the Buracas do Casmilo, the access<\/strong> is quite simple and easy to access. Head to the village of Casmilo and park next to the Picnic Park \/ Sports Area - there's plenty of parking. From here, you'll have to walk along a well-signposted dirt track for about 1km to the long-awaited scenery. During our visit, we even saw people taking their cars to the Buracas. Although this is possible, we don't recommend it - the road has a steep gradient and is all loose stone, making driving difficult and potentially damaging the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
