9 Under-the-radar Safari Experiences Travel Experts Recommend for the Trip of a Lifetime

"Near the Portuguese–Spanish border in the eastern Algarve, this park is home to the bustard — Portugal's most corpulent bird — a species that prefers to run rather than fly; only about 1,150 were counted in 2002, females can have wingspans exceeding seven feet, and males are larger, making any sighting a rare and memorable event." - Samantha Falewée Samantha Falewée Samantha Falewée is an associate editor for Travel + Leisure, interested in adventure and culinary travel, Indigenous culture, and wildlife conservation.

It's truly gorgeous in this area, that established Natural Park status in 1995. Lots of birdwatching g and of tpu are lucky you may catch a glimpse of the Iberian Lynx. Don't miss visits to Mertola (keeping everything crossed it gers official UNESCO world heritage recognition), Pula do lobo and Praia Fluvial de Mina de São Domingos if you want to cool off in the summer heat.

Guadiana Valley Natural Park, is a natural park in southeastern Portugal. It is one of the 30 areas which are officially under protection in the country. A very beautiful national park in the Guadiana river valley, on the Portuguese-Spanish border.

Lovely place, nice a quiet in April no one else around down by the water. Don't let the colour of the water put you off, its actually clear when you get down to it.

No one has described about how to enter the hiking trails, we started a bit, however there were no clear instructions about valley and hiking trails.

What a beautiful place to walk! But in Summer it's too hot! More than 35 degrees Celsius. Last time I was there in April 12, 2017 the temperature was 31,5 degrees Celsius... I need to drink some water!

We were centred at Mértola,, a lovely town with ancient castle with it's original history dating back to 314 BC, churches through the ages, many hills and walks and we'll tended islands and flowers. Running alongside town is the beautiful Guadiana River, with kayaking and boat trips and a couple of excellent hotels overlooking it.
