The Ria Formosa is one of Portugal’s most impressive natural parks, stretching from Faro to Cacela Velha and protected by five barrier islands that shape a landscape in constant transformation. Here, the tides not only create unique scenery but also set the rhythm of an extraordinary biodiversity.
This ecosystem has been classified as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention, making it a true sanctuary for more than 200 species of migratory birds. Among salt marshes, channels, and sandbanks, marine life thrives and reveals fascinating secrets with every visit.
Exploring the Ria Formosa by boat is the best way to experience its natural richness, visit the islands of Deserta, Farol, Culatra, and Armona, and discover up close the essence of this Algarve gem.
