RIA
FORMOSA.

Where the labyrinth of canals meets the Atlantic.

A Labyrinth of
Biodiversity.

"One of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal, the Ria Formosa is a lagoon system that stretches for 60 km."

From iconic seahorses to migratory flamingos, this ecosystem is the lungs of the Algarve and the reason why Faro is so special.
