During the walk, guests will learn about the cork oak tree, the cork harvesting cycle and the importance of cork production to the region, while also discovering the biodiversity and sustainable management behind this remarkable landscape.
At Cortiçarte, the cork factory, guests will have the opportunity to discover the fascinating transformation process of cork, from the extraction of the cork oak bark to the creation of a wide variety of final products.
