Serra do Açor

The dark skies of the Schist Villages are unique, not only because they offer excellent conditions for observation, but also because what lies beneath them is absolutely distinctive. The visibility, transparency and darkness, as well as the number of clear nights, make the Schist Villages a rare destination in the world for observing the sky.

Taking advantage of this rich natural resource, the Geoscope - Astronomical Observatory of Fajão, Pampilhosa da Serra was born, a multidisciplinary project that unites tourism, science, pedagogy and territorial development, seeking to attract all those interested in the cosmos.

It is from here that Epic Land invites you on a Starlight Journey and promises to dazzle you with the brilliance of the sky in an observation guided by Samuel Batista.

Over the course of two hours, you'll learn about and identify constellations, planets and galaxies. At the end, you can record the moment in a photo session and take home a souvenir.

Don't miss the chance to find out more and be amazed by the universe that surrounds us!

"Foi uma experiência incrível! O Samuel é um excelente comunicador. Apenas acho que o preço é um bocadinho elevado." September 02, 2024

"Fomos guiados na nossa viagem às estrelas pelo maravilhoso Manuel que foi incansável em transmitir a sabedoria e o amor pela sua profissão que tanto caracterizou a nossa experiência. Foi um prazer partilhar a troca de conhecimento num passeio pelo céu, que se encontrava limpo e reunia as condições perfeitas para o deleite dos nossos olhos. Pudemos contemplar e entender as constelações, planetas, estrelas e os seus legados…pudemos nos apaixonar pelo meio que nos envolve…é sem sombra de dúvidas uma experiência que enriquece a alma e nos trás uma expansão da nossa consciência que essa sim, vem para ficar e dura para sempre. Recomendamos imensamente e estamos eternamente agradecidos ao Manuel e a epicland por estas iniciativas. Trazemos algumas recordações fotográficas connosco, de modo a imortalizar este momento especial! 1000estrelas de 5! " August 28, 2024
