Beschreibung
Canhão do Erges is one of the most inhospitable and remote places in Portugal. The Erges is still a wild river with great erosive capacity that led to the formation of three impressive gorges within a short distance. Exploring these canyons, where the river flows at a depth of 150 m, is a perfect opportunity to discover a great diversity of birds. The cliffs are an important nesting and resting place for Gänsegeier, Schmutzgeier, Black Vulture, Schwarzstorch, Habichtsadler, Blaumerle and Uhu. Here, the skies are also crossed by birds of prey like Schlangenadler, Zwergadler, Steinadler, Rotmilan, Schwarzmilan, Mäusebussard and aerial birds such as Alpensegler, Mauersegler, Uferschwalbe, Rauchschwalbe, Mehlschwalbe, Felsenschwalbe and Rötelschwalbe.
From the Roman bridge of Segura, that connects Portugal to Spain, you can observe Eisvogel, Zwergtaucher, Flußuferläufer, Waldwasserläufer, Kormoran and Graureiher. This is also a great place to observe Orpheusspötter, Seidensänger, Mönchsgrasmücke, Samtkopf-Grasmücke, Orpheusgrasmücke and Provencegrasmücke, which usually feed and shelter in the bushes by the river. In the surroundings lands of Segura it is possible to detect and watch birds like Wachtel, Rothuhn, Hohltaube, Häherkuckuck, Kuckuck, Kiebitz, Wiedehopf, Bienenfresser, Pirol, Rotkopfwürger, Iberienraubwürger, Blauelster, Elster, Theklalerche, Weidensperling, Steinsperling, Bluthänfling, Grauammer, Zippammer and Zaunammer.

After that, you can drive along the riverside until the “Centro Interpretativo da Biodiversidade”, which has a good view into the interior of the granite outcrop. Finally, you can drive to a sandy area, with some watermills, where the canyon starts. See the map below.
