Parque Natural do Tejo Internacional

The park encompasses the municipalities of Castelo Branco and Idanha-a-Nova and is home to a natural heritage of exceptional value. The enclosed valleys of the Tagus River, its tributaries (Erges, Ponsul, and Aravil), and the adjacent flatlands establish the transition between the Central Mountain Range and the Alentejo plain. The climate is typically Mediterranean and is dominated by a rural landscape of extensive crops and cork oak and holm oak forests. But it is above all the transitions between the different landscape types and the mosaics created by these transitions that give the International Tagus Natural Park its unique color, further supported by a rich fauna and flora.
