The “Origins” tour is part of the concept of scientific tourism, designed especially for scholars interested in deepening their knowledge of specific historical periods.
This tour is particularly relevant for those who wish to explore themes related to the Neolithic and megalithism, offering a unique opportunity to observe and study ancient settlement remains and reconstructions through rigorous scientific approaches.
During the tour, participants will have the chance to observe a Neolithic settlement currently being excavated and studied. This archaeological work is led by Manuel Calado and his team of specialists.
Additionally, the tour includes an exploration of a replica Neolithic village. This space was recreated by Manuel Calado using experimental archaeology techniques to simulate life in a settlement over 7,000 years old.
This immersive experience provides a deep understanding of prehistory and the scientific methodologies used to uncover the lifestyles of our ancestors.
