What It Is

  • Ria Formosa Natural Park has been named 1 of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal. It is a unique and important protected area, inaccessible to cars, that is home to many different habitats including marshes, tidal flats and fresh water lagoons and plays a vital role for migratory birds during spring and autumn as well as marine animals.
