Reserve your tickets here!

Quinta das Águias is a non profit organization located in a five hectare farm in Paredes de Coura in Northern Portugal.

An organic farm and animal refuge, it is a sustainability project where all forms of life and the natural resources that sustain life are treated with respect and where every effort is made to avoid harming or spoiling them.

It was established in 2004, as a family project for Ivone, Joep and Maria, who wished to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, closer to nature.

Associação Quinta das Águias aims to develop projects in traditional plant and seed preservation, educational projects and an animal sanctuary, currently housing over 158 animals who have the chance to live their lives free from suffering.

Things to consider:
There is about a 10 minute walk on a cobblestone, sloped surface to and from where we will be parking the bus.
The farm is rugged and sturdy shoes are recommended. We will be walking on uneven terrain at times. Please let us know if you have questions.
