Description

The viewpoint of São João das Arribas is located in the natural park of Douro Internacional. You have magnificent views on the cliffs that surround the river Douro, but also on Spain. Water has carved the banks of the River Douro for centuries, forming monumental canyons covered with the local flora and populated by many species of bird. Junipers, cork-oaks, chestnut trees and holm oaks can be found in the park’s forests. Birds you can see here are Vautour percnoptère, Vautour fauve, Milan royal, Cigogne noire, Monticole bleu and Loriot d'Europe. But many more, see the birdlist below.
