Highlights

Arrival and beginning of the adventure

Alentejo - The journey from Lisbon to Alentejo begins.

Fluviario de Mora - Depending on the schedules and the tides, on the way we will make a stop to observe birds in the Fluviário de Mora where there is a collection of freshwater fish.

Bird watching in Cabeção

Estremoz - Stop for lunch in the city of Estremoz or in the Elvas region. Then we go south passing through the Spanish cities of Olivenza, Alconchel, Jerez de los Caballeros, Fregenal de la Sierra, ending the trip in the Aracena area.

Visit to the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park.

Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park - After the previous day’s trip, it is time to enjoy one of the many walks offered by the SERRA DE ARACENA AND PICOS DE AROCHE NATURAL PARK. We will visit the castle of Aracena, a watchtower that allows us to enjoy beautiful views and observe the awakening of the first raptors. The Park is the second largest protected area in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. The interest in visiting this park is justified by the richness of the landscapes. The meadows populated by holm oaks are replaced by cork oaks in some areas, while at higher altitudes oak and chestnut forests are frequent. In river beds such as the Múrtigas there are abundant large trees such as poplars, ash trees, willows and alders. This variety of forest provides an interesting wealth of fauna.

Visit of the Moura and Barrancos area.

Visit of the Castro Verde Biosphere Reserve and farewell

Reserva Natural do Estuario do Sado - In the afternoon we start our journey back to Lisbon through the SADO STUARY NATURAL RESERVE. If the tide is favorable, we can make a stop to observe birds. We will be back at the meeting point at the end of the day.
