Hands-on farm visit in Ourique at Monte São Pedro, a small family-run farm nestled in the peaceful landscapes of Baixo Alentejo where nature, tradition and authentic countryside life come together at a genuinely unhurried pace. This relaxed and interactive experience invites you to step into the daily rhythms of the farm alongside the farmer herself, meeting and interacting with the animals, participating in feeding time and simple farm tasks, and learning about animal care and rural traditions in a setting where cork trees, open fields and Alentejo calm provide the backdrop for everything. Perfect for families, animal lovers and travellers looking for something genuinely authentic.

The visit follows the natural flow of farm life, moving through a guided tour of the property, hands-on time with the animals, participation in simple daily tasks and a small educational workshop for children and adults that brings the traditions and knowledge of rural Alentejo life into focus. There is also time to explore the surrounding nature and simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings at your own pace. Monte São Pedro was created for people who want real experiences rather than curated ones, and every visit reflects that intention.
