You will be picked up from your hotel in Goa in a private air conditioned vehicle for your ancestral and cultural tour of Goa.
Located in the village of Loutolim, the Ancestral Goa cultural center is designed to preserve Art, Culture and Environment. Your guide will share the culture and traditions of the region and the Portuguese influences. You will watch traditional dances and how they make the feni, a local moonshine made from cashews or coconut. Visit Big Foot Cross Museum which houses an unusual collection of crosses from around the world. You will also visit the 250-year-old Portuguese mansion called Casa Araujo and explore its lavish rooms, which include a dining hall and chapel. An impressive doorway leads to a towering staircase that makes this historic structure truly stunning.

Shantadurga Temple
After, visit the Shantadurga Temple. This impressive complex was built in 1738 AD and is surrounded by brilliant green foliage. Your guide will explain about the Indo-Portuguese architecture inside. Brilliant stained-glass windows and a golden palanquin known as a palkhi decorate this religious center.

Next, head to the 400-year-old Mangueshi Temple. Built to honor the goddess Shiva, the temple and its iconic pillars play an essential role in the community.
