Alvão Natural Park Hiking Tour

Alvão Natural Park Hiking Tour

At the agreed time, we'll depart from Pena Aventura Park to explore the Alvão Natural Park on foot.

The Alvão Natural Park is one of the major protected areas in northern Portugal, known for its biodiversity. The park is home to many endemic species, including wild cats, peregrine falcons, and the Iberian wolf, which is classified as endangered.

During the hike, we'll follow the tracks of the Iberian wolf, looking for signs of its presence such as footprints or droppings. We will explore fields of heather and broom, appreciating the natural beauty of the Alvão plain.

The tour will also take us through typical regional landscapes, including birch and wild pine forests, where we can observe birds of prey, ponds with amphibians, and various insects. A break will be taken to have an energy bar when needed.

After five hours of hiking through the Alvão Natural Park, we'll return to the starting point, concluding the tour.
