The Caldeira is a lagoon that the tide fills and empties twice a day, exposing the salt marsh and mudflats, where sandpipers, godwits, herons and mergansers feed and rest. The trail circles it and enters the maritime and stone pine wood that covers the oldest dunes of Tróia, with junipers and rare plants.
It is flat and short: it takes an hour or two depending on how long you stop to watch birds. Bring binoculars.
