Also known as: Poço Iniciático. The Initiation Well in Sintra's Quinta da Regaleira enchants with its mystical allure. This inverted tower spirals deep into the earth, symbolizing a journey of initiation. Travelers often describe the descent as stepping into a fairy tale, with moss-covered stones and dim light creating an otherworldly atmosphere. WanderVlogs features many vlogs capturing the well's enigmatic beauty, often paired with explorations of the surrounding gardens and the palace's Gothic architecture.
