Ria Formosa Natural Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very calm National Park near the Faro airport. You can watch wild flamingos there and salt extraction pits. On the other side is the beach and I can only recommend a round tour.

Flamingos in the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa

Highlight • Lake

The flamingos are very beautiful, but I wouldn't do the tour on foot again, it's only possible on dusty roads or bike paths.
For a bike tour I recommend the Tour+
