THE HOT SAND CONTRAST WITH THE COLD WATER, IN THIS PLACE WHERE THE WIND STEPS TO CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE EVERY DAY. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DUNES AND VEGETATION, THESE SMALL BEINGS SEEK REFUGE AND FOOD. BIRD WATCHING IN THE MINDELO RESERVE IS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPLORE THE RICH BIODIVERSITY OF THIS NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.

The Mindelo Reserve is a true sanctuary for birds, offering an impressive diversity of habitats that attract a wide variety of species. During observation tours, participants will have the opportunity to see resident and migratory birds, such as the robin, the great heron, the kite and many others. Observers will learn to identify different species of birds, understand their behaviors and habitats, and use appropriate techniques for observing and recording birds. Equipped with binoculars and field guides, participants will be led to the best observation points within the reserve to maximize sightings and ensure a rewarding experience. In addition to the field sessions, the tours include educational moments about the importance of conserving birds and preserving their natural habitats. This program is ideal for all nature lovers who want to deepen their knowledge about birds and enjoy an immersive, peaceful day in nature.
