Biodiversity Kit

Let yourself be swept away by the natural beauty of the Arouca Geopark, immerse yourself in the landscapes and experience nature in its purest form. Set out to observe wildlife and take the ‘Guide to Discovering the Biodiversity of the Arouca Geopark’ with you.

Identify native species, discover the distinctive features of lichens and mosses, learn to recognise and distinguish between ferns, and identify, amongst the trees and shrubs, the pines, oaks, chestnut trees and alders amongst the trees and shrubs, and let yourself be enchanted by the beauty and simplicity of the bog gentian, the yellow bellflower and the mountain rosemary.

Wander through the hills and valleys marvelling at reptiles, let yourself be carried along by the rivers and streams in the company of the fish, gaze up at the sky in the hope of spotting a rare bird, marvel at the unique characteristics of the amphibians and insects, and observe the mammals that leave their mark here, whilst always safeguarding, protecting and respecting their spaces and habitats.

In this UNESCO-designated area, let yourself be captivated by its biodiversity.

[The Biodiversity Kit consists of a shoulder bag, including a free copy of the guide ‘Discovering the Biodiversity of the Arouca Geopark’.]
