Outstanding contributions Natura Glamping provides seven luxury glamping pods in the form of geodesic domes, together with a restaurant. The enterprise offers various activities, such as yoga classes, horse riding, cycling, swimming pool/jacuzzi, various types of massage, hiking and photographic tours along the 130 km of walking paths spread throughout the Serra da Gardunha. The enterprise stresses its concern for nature and sustainability. It has adopted a Responsible Tourism Policy which is introduced on its website, which also refers to its certification by Biosphere. Key areas of action include the reduction and separation of waste, measurement of carbon footprint, prioritisation of fresh products with limited packaging, use of local and environmentally sensitive suppliers, and the elimination of plastic. Green areas have been created between the domes, partly to reduce the effects of heat islands on the site and also to promote biodiversity. Native species are used and exotic and invasive species are controlled. Guests and employees are provided with information about the management of natural resources.
