Entradas/Castro Verde

Entradas/Castro Verde

The Alentejo plains are the perfect setting for this magnificent adventure.

Recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve, the Castro Verde landscape inserts human activity into a natural mosaic. Here, agricultural activity goes hand in hand with a preserved ecosystem, home to birds such as the Great Bustard, Little Bustard, and Lesser Kestrel, accompanying the voyage. In the tranquility of the skies, appreciate these extraordinary contrasts as the breeze glides the balloon with no known destination.
