The Tejo Estuary has been a vital ecological and cultural site for centuries, with local communities relying on its resources for generations.
The area’s natural habitats are protected under local conservation initiatives, emphasizing sustainability and environmental preservation.
Companhia das Lezírias is a nature-focused operator based in Vila Franca de Xira, Lisbon, offering a range of guided and self-guided experiences that highlight the Tejo estuary and EVOA lagoons. The organization runs year-round birdwatching activities, including short private visits (1.5 hours), three-hour private tours, guided searches for flamingos, and longer itineraries such as the eight-hour Grand Tour Aves, Vinho e Cortiça. Guided access frequently uses electric vehicles for comfortable, low-impact travel across lagoon and observatory areas. Self-guided visitors can use dedicated infrastructure at EVOA: four observatories, three photography hides, and multiple viewpoints for independent exploration. Tours such as “Tour na Lezíria: Dos Arrozais ao Estuário” highlight seasonal landscape changes, rice-field ecology, and local horseback work by cowboys. The Grand Tour includes estuary viewing, a crossing of the Vasco da Gama Bridge, wine tasting at Catapereiro, and EVOA lagoon visits. The on-site Entrada Exposição is an immersive exhibit composed of 20 interactive modules that present the Tejo estuary’s habitats, migratory patterns, and conservation challenges through visuals and authentic sounds. Selected tours offer practical transport from Vila Franca de Xira or Braço de Prata. Guided tours include personalized guidance in electric vehicles and on-foot options, ensuring comfortable access to habitats, seasonal bird migrations, and photographic opportunities across varied Lezíria landscapes. Booking and schedules are available through official channels and partners.
