Monsaraz – Alqueva Lake

Monsaraz – Alqueva Lake

Balloon flight over the great Alqueva lake.

Spanning 250 km2, the Alqueva dam gave birth to a new Alentejo. Where a river once flowed deep in the valleys, there is now a lake with islands of cork oaks and holm oaks, and a new lease of life for the villages and centuries-old castles that have abandoned their defensive function and now serve as lookout points. Join us and discover this landscape aboard a hot air balloon.
