Trekking along the Mandeo route · Visit to Orballo

Our team explored the Mandeo-Orballo Eco-Hiking Route, an experience in the biosphere reserve that stands out for the ecological relevance of the Mandeo River.

The Zarzo bridge marks the halfway point of the route, and the return is on the opposite side, offering views of native plants and animals. Be careful!
