The Sintra Cascais natural park is roughly 30 KM from Lisbon Center. A mountainous densely vegetated area of incredible beauty bordered by the west coast, the popular beach town of Cascais and the UNESCO world heritage town of Sintra. It creates a perfect natural haven that lends itself well for remote and rural activities just a stone drop away from the busy metropolitan area of Lisbon.
Concept of Team building – group activity Bush Craft, Sintra, Lisbon
This team building activity is based on Bushcraft. It encompasses a range of techniques and survival skills, adaptation and action in the environment that was once part of the past and human tradition in many cultures, but has been forgotten by most that lack its practice.
Mostly because they are no longer part of our modern society and are considered unnecessary. We actions of things as simple as knowing how to make a fire without matches or lighters, knowing how to build a shelter from rain or sun, build a raft or make basket with natural fibers.
The location of the mountain setting chosen gives us the framework and environment perfect for performing this action.
