It is beautiful (the wildlife such as flamingos and other birds especially), however be aware of a few things when walking as the majority of signs are portuguese only and many of the online guides seemed to omit some useful things:

It is a fairly long hike which Ive done loads but it can become incredibly hot and a heat trap real quick. We went at 4.30 and kinda was too hot for one of our group, and there is very little shade a no amenities. Recent wildfires have hit some parts of it too due to heat. Do bring water, head coveringsWear hiking or appropriate shoes for this.be careful as one section which looks walkable is actually a narrow road which leads to private property (Ludo I beleive). Id recommend this for experienced runners, hikers or cyclists. Do go at a smart time aka not the hottest point. The part that leads to Faro actually leads to a small collection of houses so walk towards the petrol station and youll get to...

Grande área com muitos locais para visitar, para quem gosta deste género de natureza (marinha). A partir de OLHÃO (mais opções de transporte), FARO e FUZETA, pode visitar as seguintes ilhas: ARMONA.Melhor praia, nesta ilha, fica na costa, a cerca de 1500 m, a pé. Tem restaurantes, no lado da ria e na costa (lado do oceano), a preços acessíveis. Mais frequentada, por ficar a cerca de 15 minutos de barco; CULATRA. Ilha de pescadores, com vários restaurantes. Melhor praia fica na costa (oceano), a cerca de 1000 m a pé, com extenso areal, menos frequentada. Fica a cerca de 35 minutos de barco da carreira. Pode-se caminhar até à praia (ilha) do Farol, a cerca de 2,5 Km, praticamente deserta no intervalo, mesmo no pico do Verão; FAROL. Local mais ao Sul de Portugal, bem conhecida das gentes locais, e não só, por ser a que mais bronzeia a pele (MUITO CUIDADO). Imprescindível levar uma boa sombrinha e um bom protector solar (mesmo ficando na sombra), ou a ida ao hospital é quase garantida, mesmo para quem já está " bronzeado ". Também tem restaurantes. Os preços em todas as ilhas são mais altos do que em terra, mas não excessivamente. Também existem táxis marítimos para todas as ilhas, bem como passeios de barco (táxis ou outros ) de várias empresas, situadas em Olhão,...

Misschien hadden we ons er teveel van voorgesteld. Het park was in ieder geval kleiner dan gedacht. Bij de entree werden we vriendelijk ontvangen en werd ons de parking gewezen. We kregen er twee simpele A-4tjes met wat uitleg over het park en de plattegrond. De entreeprijs was slechts € 2,80 pp, parkeren gratis. Eenmaal in het park was het mbv de plattegrond heel eenvoudig om een wandeling uit te zetten. We zagen vooral veel vogels en genoten daar zeer van. Vele soorten eenden, de kleine zilverreiger, de blauwe ekster. Vogels spotten wordt extra aantrekkelijk door de mooie schuilhutten, die her en der staan. Het bezoekerscentrum kun je rustig overslaan. Een verveelde medewerkster achterin het kantoortje, die geen moeite deed om iets te vertellen oid. Verder zijn de gebouwen (zeker ook de sanitaire blokken) in het park hard aan een opknapbeurt toe. Mijn suggestie: maak de entree duurder en investeer in een goed ontvangstgebouw waar mensen met kennis van zaken de bezoekers voorlichten over natuur en natuurbehoud, over wat er te zien is in het park, de...

Ria de Formosa, parque natural en el Algarve,al sur de Portugal.Idílico es lo que ves , un placer poder apreciarlo, un autentico paraíso recomendable totalmente , no siempre podemos disfrutar de islas casi desiertas de extensas playas doradas o poder ir a bordo barcos tradicionales y disfrutar de su gastronomía marinera.La Ría Formosa está constituida por una serie de marismas y canales de agua que se extienden desde Faro, al oeste, hasta Tavira, nos ha encantado por que ya estábamos cansados de tanta playa abarrotada y esto es todo un privilegio

Ho visitato questo parco naturale da Faro. La natura offre degli scorci meravigliosi, si possono incontrare fenicotteri, aironi, beccacce e tante altre specie di uccelli. Il paesaggio è lagunare con saline e dune ed è attraversato da passaggi ciclopedonali ben tenuti. Alcuni cartelli segnalano i percorsi e descrivono la flora e la fauna del posto. I percorsi portano anche alle spiagge. Io l'ho apprezzato moltissimo e ne consiglio la visita
