Portugal's Mediterranean climate and many different landscapes create a variety of wildlife habitats. These places are home to many important ecosystems such as the maquis shrublands, grasslands, dunes, and rocky cliffs and wetlands like a bog, mire, and fen marshes in the estuary and lagoon systems. Another special ecosystem in Portugal is the extensive cork oak forests, also called montados. Montados are areas sparsely populated with trees, with the predominant species being the cork oak. They resulted from human agricultural activities, making it a cultural landscape with forestry-pastoral/savannah-like character. Even so, cork oak forests are one of the richest ecosystems in the world. If you want to explore the wildlife in a mantado, Portugal is the place to go - it has the world's largest cork oak forest, representing a whole 34% of the total montado areas in the world. Some of these areas have been present for over three centuries. The montados are concentrated in the south of the country in just those four regions: Alentejo Central, Alentejo Litoral, Alto Alentejo and Lezíria do Tejo.

One of the most famous places in Algarve is the fairy-tale cave of Benagil. What is interesting about it is that it has a beach inside. Through a large hole in the stone at the top of the cave, you can still enjoy the sun in this cave. It is difficult to reach the Benagil Cave on foot; better via the water. You can also rent a kayak if you want to take on the challenge of sailing to this cave yourself. The advantage of this is that you have more freedom and are not constrained by the departure times of the boats. If you do not want to rent a kayak, but still want to stay in this magical place for as long as possible, you can choose to swim to the cave, but that is not advisable. Although the distance from the coast to the cave is not very large, you have to take the currents into account, which might be strong and put your life in danger. The Cave of Benagil has been named one of the most beautiful caves in the world by the Michelin Guide. You will definitely have a wonderful time during your break in Portugal.
