Ria Formosa Bike Tour

For cycling enthusiasts, this excursion through Ria Formosa Natural Park is a must. Discover the diverse ecosystem of southern Portugal while pedaling through picturesque landscapes.

Biking Adventure in Ria Formosa

We will convene at 10 am in front of The Shack restaurant located in Almancil. From there, we will mount our bikes and embark on an exploration of the stunning Ria Formosa Natural Park. Prepare yourself to take in some of the most breathtaking vistas in the Algarve!

The **route spans 12 miles**, leading us through the park's hidden gems.

The estuary unfolds like an intricate maze of canals, marshlands, and sandbanks. As we ride, you'll gain insights into the significance of this natural haven and, with some luck, spot seahorses, flamingos, waterdogs, and other remarkable wildlife.

We will also take time to view various salt flats. You'll discover how these areas are harvested and learn more about the local fishing traditions that thrive in this region of Portugal.

The enjoyable biking experience will conclude back at our starting point around 12:30 pm.
