All of these products are marketed internationally.The cork oak forest is a clear example of renewal and sustainable exploitation, making this territory very special. Due to the concentration of cork oak forests here, industry research and development of the cork sector, the municipality supplies about 8% of Portugals cork a world leader in the sector.

A hot air balloon is a beautiful experience to have if you get the opportunity sadly that might be a bit of a challenge if you’re going with Windpassenger.pt. Clearly my €750 was not enough for Windpassenger to communicate with me when I desperately needed to talk to them to clarify important information. I had tried to call them on all numbers available to me along with numerous emails, but sadly to no avail. Without confirmation from Windpassenger it would have cost me an extra €160 in taxi fares due to to pick-up point being an hour outside of Lisbon. I guess good customer service is not so paramount for this company and this is why I award only one star.

The day before we had to go there suddenly were some doubts. Both afraid of heights, should we really do this? But we totally did. Guido is a great pilot and the experience wasn't scary at all. We floated through a part of Portugal, enjoying the sunset and views not feeling anxious but instead a sense of total serenity. If you have any doubts, don't! Just go and enjoy!!!

Adoramos as paisagens que aquela hora da manhã proporciona.. a tranquilidade do voo e a experiência do balonista deu uma segurança incrível. Levamos o nosso filho de 10 anos que também adorou! Aconselho!
