Activities

If you are a nature lover, you cannot miss the opportunity to take a boat trip through the Tagus estuary nature reserve.

If you like birds and seeing them in the wild, then a bird watching trip is a must.

Under the guidance of Carlos Cera, our host and guide, you will witness a true spectacle of nature.

The Tagus estuary, with 34,000 hectares, is the largest estuary in Western Europe. It has a natural reserve area with 14,000 hectares where 200 different species of birds are identified. Regular counts indicate that the number of wintering species amounts to 120,000 individuals.

In 2024, 12,000 Flamingos were counted in the estuary

Making this nature sanctuary one of the most important points in Europe in terms of conservation and preservation of biodiversity. Not only birds, but also all forms of aquatic life (fish, amphibians, molluscs, crustaceans, annelids, plants, etc.) that find shelter and food in these waters.

It will certainly be a great surprise for most visitors to witness this magnificent natural environment just 10 minutes from the great metropolis that is today Lisbon..
