AMONG THE INFINITE PLAINS, THE VIBRANT ESTUARIES AND THE FOREST-COVERED SLOPES, WE TRAVEL TO THE RHYTHM OF THE BIRDS. IN EVERY FLIGHT, A PROMISE OF DISCOVERY.
Portugal is a top destination for those looking for in-depth birdwatching experiences. During a three to five-day expedition, we explore the most iconic habitats — from the rolling fields of the Alentejo to the Tagus and Sado estuaries, from the coastal cliffs of the Algarve to the inland mountains. Each day is carefully planned to capture the birds’ peak activity, from the first light of dawn to the golden sunset. Flamingos, eagles, little bustards, griffon vultures and many other species are part of our itineraries, designed to provide authentic and enriching experiences. These programs allow participants to develop advanced identification skills, perfect observation and photography techniques, and deepen their connection with Portuguese birdlife and ecosystems. A true journey through the wild nature of Portugal, full of unforgettable moments.
