Enjoy a bike ride through Comporta to Carruseira and discover Portugal's largest rice paddies!
An hour's drive from Lisbon lies one of Portugal's best kept secrets: Comporta, a fishing village of crystal clear beaches and rice paddies. In the Alentejo region, Comporta is Portugal's increasingly fashionable destination for those in search of calm, tranquillity and dreamy landscapes. This village is one of the villages that make up Herdade da Comporta, a territory of 12,000 hectares between the sea and the Sado estuary, classified as a highly protected nature reserve, which means that the natural environment is very well preserved, with a rich fauna and flora, including the rice fields along the coast.
A nice way to get to know the region is a guided bike ride from Comporta through the rice fields. You will meet your guide at the Museu do Arroz de Comporta and from there you will cycle through the rice fields to the port of Carrasueira, a fishing village on the banks of the Sado estuary, well known for its harbour on stilts and for being one of the best places to watch the sunset in Portugal. From Carrasueira, you will return to Comporta, enjoying the rice fields and the birds of the region. All this accompanied by the explanations of the guide. A very simple and beautiful excursion suitable for all ages.
Don't miss the opportunity to get to know the most fashionable region of Portugal with this beautiful cycling tour in Comporta.
