Enjoy the diversity of landscapes that the Algarve has to offer, discovering the rich natural heritage of this amazing region.

In the southwest of the country, travel through the Costa Vicentina Nature Park, where long tree lined stretches of coastline lead to deserted beaches and gently sloping dunes covered in flowers.

From the cliff tops, your view will reveal the 200 kilometres of coastline waiting to be explored.

In the Formosa Estuary, visit the most extensive lagoon ecosystem in Portugal. It is composed of 60 kilometres of Nature Reserve, which you can explore by boat, from island to islet.

If you’re a nature lover, then take the chance to travel along the Park’s Interpretative Trail. This trail provides almost two hours’ guidance on regional flora and fauna.

Discover the salt-works, meadows and marshes of the River Guadiana, between Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António, a wetland zone that is of recognised international importance.

Go inland and you’ll find the mountain ranges of Monchique, Espinhaço de Cão and Caldeirão. Discover a different Algarve, where locals live traditional lives off the land as they have done for centuries.
