Experience Winter Haven In Ria Formosa

In a world where we have so many wonderful warm countries to choose from, whilst factoring the winter chill that comes in the later months of the year, The Algarve's Ria Formosa Natural Park and the beautiful sandbars islands are a far cry from what you may normally experience at home in Britain - that could all be about to change when you experience this beautiful, winter haven with your own eyes.

Whether you venture to Portugal for sun, sea, sand or sangria, the hot weather and beautiful landscapes ensure this is the perfect winter break for couples and families alike with a particular focus on Faro.

Faro is the southernmost city with long stretches of golden sandy beaches, incredibly high cliffs and scalloped bays - Ria Formosa is the gateway to your very own haven. 

Tourists aren't the only ones attracted to this beauty. Ria Formosa is the place to be for birdlife, saltwater aquatic life and small fishing communities in and around the salt water lagoons and waterways that flow from Faro in the west to Tavira in the east.

Ria Formosa is considered an important bird area (IBA). More than 20,000 birds descend here during the wintering period (you could say they have the same idea as you!)

The Ria Formosa Natural Park is one of the most wonderful parts of The Algarve, not only for its variety of nature and landscapes but also because of its unique location. Recently elected as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Portugal.

You can also get up close to the action with the plethora of boat tours on offer. This is certainly one of the best ways to appreciate local Portuguese culture in all its finery - experiencing rare species such as: the Purple Swamphen and colourful flamingos to exploring the golden ilha Deserta beach (the deserted island) and The Cabo de Santa Maria. This corner of the earth is stacked in heritage.

If a river tour doesn't float your boat… then discovering this protected area is still accessible via guided walks and bike rides; just another way to get acquainted with this paradise in the Algarve.

The city of Faro makes for a popular low cost day trip from the major resort towns of Vilamoura, Quinta Do Lago and Vale Do Lobo, and any excursion should always include a tour of the Ria Formosa Natural Park - it's simply too good to miss.
