Ria Formosa Natural Park
Highlight • Natural Monument
Very calm National Park near the Faro airport. You can watch wild flamingos there and salt extraction pits. On the other side is the beach and I can only recommend a round tour.

Birdwatching 🐦 Ancão Estuary, Natural Park
Highlight • Viewpoint
Great place to observe birds on ground level or upstairs, and be protected from the elements while waiting. Amazing light at dawn and dusk. Important to open the shutters quietly …

Ria Formosa Salt Flats and Atlantic Coast Route
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Nice varied route on the way from Tavira towards Faro through the Parque Natural de Rio Formosa. Very well maintained and well developed. A place where a bridge collapsed was easy to avoid.
