Tours 2010
The Po Delta is an area of extraordinary natural, historical, and geological interest.
Seven river branches open like a fan and form the so-called "Active Delta", rich in different environments (Landscape) each of them characterized by its own flora and fauna and changing in aspect season after season (Flora/Fauna).
In association with the operator "Navigazione Marino Cacciatori", the Park Authority suggests for the current year river itineraries along all the branches of the river Po:
Scano Boa and the navigation among lagoons and canebrakes
On Sundays, from March to October, with boarding in Pila at 3.00 p.m., let's discover Scano Boa between the lagoon and the sea: it is the borderland between man and nature, where the one and only human sign is represented by the fishermen's huts surrounded by a wonderful, wild, and untouched environment where you can sight several birds, from the Oystercatcher to the wonderful Shelduck, a very particular duck species widespread in these places.
