Reaching the River
Authored By:
Today students learned more about river ecosystems by hiking through the Paiva Walkways. Located in Averio, Portugal, these walkways are famous for allowing accessibility to the incredible geology, archaeology, and, of course, ecology surrounding the Paiva River. Our students focused on the importance of river systems and economically important trees found in the area such as cork and eucalyptus. After hiking, students enjoyed a nice picnic and refreshing swim in the river.
Tomorrow we are excited for classes and leisure time in Lisbon!
