Located in Samora Correia within Portugal’s Santarém region, the Entrada Exposição offered by Companhia das Lezírias presents a fresh lens on the Tejo estuary—a crucial wetland ecosystem known for sustaining diverse migratory and resident bird populations. Unlike typical nature outings, this immersive exhibition delivers an interactive encounter with the estuary's avian life through 20 thoughtfully designed modules that draw visitors into the daily realities and survival challenges these birds face.

The Tejo estuary itself is a vital natural corridor where freshwater meets the Atlantic, creating rich habitats that support species from elegant herons to agile terns. Companhia das Lezírias, a key steward of this landscape, leverages their local expertise to craft an experience combining vivid high-definition visuals, authentic field recordings, and compelling, participatory storytelling. Attendees step beyond passive observation, making decisions that simulate an individual bird's journey—from choosing nesting sites to navigating climate-driven changes affecting food supply.

This approach makes the Entrada Exposição more than just education; it’s a hands-on connection to biodiversity and conservation issues relevant here and globally. Visitors gain insight into how human land use, agriculture, and urban expansion ripple through this ecosystem, impacting wildlife in immediate and long-term ways.

Designed for families, educators, and nature enthusiasts alike, the exhibition accommodates all ages and accessibility needs, encouraging engagement and reflection at each interactive station. With an average visit time of 60 to 90 minutes, Entrada Exposição suits visitors seeking a meaningful, sensory-rich experience that grounds environmental awareness in local context.

For those interested in Portugal’s rich natural heritage, Companhia das Lezírias offers a standout opportunity to witness the Tejo estuary’s avian inhabitants up close—through both eyes and heart—making this exhibition an essential stop for anyone committed to understanding and preserving the delicate balance between wildlife and landscape here.
