Guadiana Valley Natural Park, Nature park in Faro district, Portugal.

The Guadiana Valley Natural Park extends over 173,000 acres along the Guadiana River, featuring diverse landscapes of rolling hills and Mediterranean vegetation patterns.

The protected area, established in 1995, encompasses the ancient mining region of São Domingos, which operated continuously from Roman times until the 1960s.

The park territory includes traditional agricultural practices where local farmers maintain centuries-old methods of cultivating olives and cereals in terraced fields.

Nine marked trails throughout the park offer distances from 2.6 to 17 kilometers, with free downloadable maps and GPS coordinates for all routes.

The Pulo do Lobo area presents a 20-meter vertical drop where the Guadiana River narrows between rock formations, creating a natural geological monument.
