It's a slow tourism by bicycle along the banks, by boat among the reeds and the dense riparian vegetation. Or on foot to observe the more than 350 different species of water birds, including the famous pink flamingos, which nest in the valleys of the Po Delta, Man and Biosphere Unesco reserve. Here the river opens like a fan dividing into seven branches before flowing into the Adriatic and with deposits of sand carried by the current over the centuries it has created oases and "benches".
Il Delta it is thus the youngest land in Italy with only 400 years of history that can be discovered in Botanical Garden of Porto Caleri in Rosolina Mare , 30 hectares of coastline divided into educational paths of various lengths.
