Golf Course Borders Ludo Hiking Trail Ludo Hiking Trail  ⭐⭐, a circular route (click here to see the map), crosses a border between the terrestrial environment and the lagoon system of the Ria Formosa , showing different habitats: forest patches, marsh areas and salt marshes. [1] This route is a segment that crosses São Lourenço where we can observe a scenario of fresh and salty waters conducive to some plants and water birds that make this place their sanctuary, including ducks, grebes and coots, piadeiras and trumpet ducks. Along the way, you can also see a wide complex of creeks and salt pans where white salt is extracted. Pleasant route to explore this beautiful marsh located near Faro .
