This series reveals the amazing wildlife that still thrives in this beautiful but little-known country. Come and travel with us from the mountains of North Portugal to the southern beaches of the Algarve, and far out across the Atlantic Ocean to the islands of the Azores and Madeira, home to Europe’s last surviving laurel forests. Lying between Europe and Africa, the Iberian Peninsula is home to a wide variety of landscapes and spectacular endemic species, such as the Iberian lynx, Iberian wolf, and Iberian imperial eagle.

The snow-covered mountains of the north, clothed in forests, remain the last refuge of the Iberian wolf in Portugal, and extensive oak forests provide the venue for fearsome fights between male stag beetles. Beyond the vineyards of the Douro River, where the world-famous Port wine is grown, lies one of the wildest places in Europe. The impressive River Douro canyon soars 200 metres into the sky where Bonelli´s Eagles and Egyptian vultures hover with breathtaking grace.
