A Rotas do Sal declara que, para todas as atividades que promove, possui:
Cut glare off the water surfaces to capture sharper bird photos during sunny days.
Temperatures can shift quickly near the estuary, so pack windproof jackets over light layers.
Minimize disturbance to wildlife to increase chances of close bird sightings.
Tidal changes affect bird activity and access to some vantage points; tours often align with prime tides.
The Mourisca tide mill is a working relic from the 18th century used historically for grinding salted cereals, linking local industry and natural cycles.
Rotas do Sal emphasizes minimal environmental impact and supports ongoing efforts to monitor and protect the estuary’s fragile bird populations.
Essential for detailed close-up views of birds from a distance.
