Overview
What sets the Tagus Estuary apart is its harmonious coexistence of agriculture and wildlife. The age-old relationship between the land and its inhabitants has created a delicate balance, fostering a wide biodiversity. Enormous black bulls graze lazily under the shade of Cork Oaks, while families of Egyptian Mangoose roam freely, adding to the area’s natural allure.
Exploring the Tagus Estuary is a year-round delight. In winter, the estuary teems with migratory birds seeking refuge, offering a captivating sight for birdwatchers. During the summer, the landscape transforms into a Mediterranean oasis, bustling with breeding species. Guided tours by Portugal Birding provide a unique opportunity to witness this natural spectacle up close.
Just a short 30 minute drive from Lisbon, from open water and mudflats to salt marshes and reedbeds, these tour offer a glimpse into the rich avian life that calls this estuary home
