FAUNA
The Tróia peninsula and the nature park of the Sado estuary have o wide
range of interesting and rare
animal species, some of which can be easily seen during your stay.
In the dune system you will find the green frog, a variety of sand and
other lizards and from time to time the inoffensive limbless lizard. But it is
the birds (flamingos, swans and herons) and the marine mammals in the natural
park, which make the peninsula into a paradise for nature lovers.
The main marine mammals are the dolphins, thanks to the colony of corvine
porpoises (tursiops truncatus) who
live in the Sado estuary. A visit to the dolphins can make your time in Tróia
into an unforgettable experience and we highly recommend it.
There was also recently discovered in the peninsula one of the only two known colonies in Portugal of long tailed bois (tadarida teniotis) The preservation of these rare flying mammals is one of the priorities of our environmental program.
