Itinerary
Get right into the heart of nature in South Goa! We’ll go exploring through the local meadows and I’ll take you on a journey through the various plants, trees, herbs, spice plants and more on our way there, then I’ll explain to you how the Portugeuse occupation changed the entire ecosystem here.
Next, the real excitement begins as we watch flocks of birds waking up to the sunrise! We’ll tiptoe right through their natural habitat and I’ll give you binoculars to watch them from afar. I can identify them from specs in the distance, and you’ll soon be learning all their names by heart!
