Insects are pretty much only flies and mosquitos that "bug" us, right? Wrong, just making sure you were paying attention! In this activity we'll check out what insects are, in what exactly they are different from other animals that we sometimes call insects (like the scorpion), we'll see some insects with magnifying glasses and, with a little luck, find some live insects in the Nature. Let's go?!

How to get there

From the Cultural Center (1.2km): Exiting from the event’s reception (Cultural Center), you should follow the dirt track that goes into the “Mata Nacional” (National Woods), bound Northwest, and keep straight for about one kilometer, until you find directions to turn left and reach the picnic area.

From Lagos: Arriving at city of Lagos, at the roundabout of the Municipal Stadium, follow towards Bensafrim. At the exit of Portelas, take the EM 531 to the left, in the direction of Barão de São João, passing by “Monte Judeu”. Continue straight ahead towards Barão de S. João, and after entering the village of Barão de São João, follow the signs that indicate the “Mata Nacional” (National Woods). Follow the dirt track that goes into the Mata Nacional (bound Northwest) and keep straight for about one kilometer, until you find directions to turn left and reach the picnic area.
