Overview

The largest artificial lake in Europe is the host of this tour where the fantastic sunset dazzles us and then gives a wonderful night sky.
The monitors who guide the route are people born and raised in the region, who lived the entire process of building the Alqueva dam, knowing and making known its impact on the region.
The Dark Sky Alqueva Reserve is a unique sky discovery territory ... Over 260 days a year of clear skies, with a minimum level of light pollution, allow us to enjoy a unique star-gazing experience with the naked eye. .
Between stories told, with a unique landscape, we reach the end of the trail where an invigorating picnic with traditional Alentejo products awaits us. Around the fire we will have the chance to taste red wine, a hot tea in the coals, a paio and a cheese accompanied by the unparalleled Alentejo bread. The stories follow under the starry cloak of the Dark Sky Alqueva reserve.
