Overview

Journey to one of the world’s most significant Christian sites on this tour, where we will remember the history and message of Our Lady of Fátima’s apparitions.

The story begins on May 13, 1917, when three shepherd children—Lúcia de Jesus (age 10), and her cousins Francisco (age 9) and Jacinta Marto (age 7)—were pasturing their flock in the Cova da Iria.

Our first stop is the village of Valinhos, where we will visit the humble houses of these three children who witnessed the apparitions.

Afterward, we will proceed to the magnificent Sanctuary of Fátima, a globally important destination attracting five million visitors annually. You will have flexible time to explore the Sanctuary.

Time is flexible, allowing you to attend a Mass if you wish, and browse the several souvenir shops.
