Ria Formosa Natural Park is a significant Ramsar site and one of the 7 Wonders of Portugal, covering 14,000 hectares of protected land. The park's complex network of sand barriers and dunes stretches 60 kilometers along the coast, serving as a vital stopover for over 20,000 waterbirds, particularly during the winter months. As a key spot for migratory birds traveling to and from Africa, the park hosts more than 200 bird species in diverse habitats including dunes, mudflats, salt marshes, lagoons, and pine woods. With its abundance of wader species and passerines, Ria Formosa is a prime location to spot rare and localized bird species such as the Purple Swamp-hen and Little Bittern, not found elsewhere in Portugal.
