Birdwatching Bike Tour in the Lagoon of Venice, Italy

Discover wonderful landscapes rich in history, traditions and scenery of rare beauty, biking around fishing valleys and lagoon birds. This bike tour is an extraordinary opportunity to discover a hidden and off the beaten path part of the Venice lagoon: a bike itinerary to Lio Piccolo and Mesole, little towns nestled between the sea and the Venice Lagoon. Flamingos are nothing new in these places: for over a decade, in fact, these birds have been settling in this area. Today there are more than 8,000 flamingos that winter in the lagoon, many of which decide to stop for the whole year. Flamingo are quite confident and frequent “valli da pesca” (a sort of fish farms in the lagoon) and shallows, where they find shallow and muddy waters that they can filter with their particular beak. Not only flamingos, in total, around 300 species of birds live in the lagoon. Ducks (mallards, teals, pintails, wigeons, shovelers), herons, seagulls, waders, shorebirds, even 4,000 flamingos that would once migrate from Tunisia to France and then to Sardinia, now stably reside in the lagoon and its surrounding area. Visiting the lagoon by bike will allow you to come into contact with the soul of a land where nature has always played a leading role. Land, fresh water and salt water are the three elements that coexist in this territory in a truly unique way. Under the lead of a guide, who will provide you with information on the history and the peculiarities of the nature of the area, you will enjoy a truly unique ride!
