How many species can you find in a simple stone wall? Spiders, insects, plants, and other small inhabitants may be just centimetres away from us without us noticing. On this walk through Rocha da Pena, you will learn where to look, observe closely, photograph, and understand why certain species live there and what role they play in the ecosystem. The activity takes place in the Algarvensis UNESCO Global Geopark and is led by invertebrate specialist Sérgio Henriques. A relaxed morning for adults and families, designed for nature enthusiasts, with no prior knowledge required.
