What better way to discover rewilding than by living it directly?

Safari through the Greater Côa Valley, dedicated exclusively to nature photography.

Program

We will explore the characteristic landscape, the native flowers and fauna. This territory is characterized by a microclimate marked by low rainfall, low winter temperatures and high summer temperatures. Here we find a Mediterranean vegetation consisting mainly of holm oaks (Quercus rotundifolia) and cork oaks (Quercus suber). Also noteworthy is the formation of pyrenean oaks (Quercus pyrenaica) and narrow-leaved ash (Fraxinus angustifolia). It is a territory with low human occupation, which has long been able to shape this landscape through traditional farming practices and which provided a mosaic of habitats highly important for biodiversity. It is this ruralized landscape among with the wild ones, that makes the Greater Côa Valley area a very scenic one.

Blending these natural gains with traditional local practices, heritage, and products has fostered new economic opportunities and a renewed sense of regional pride.
