WWF Oasis Valle Averto is a fishing valley of the Venetian lagoon. It is the only one where hunting is forbidden.
Valle Averto includes extensive salty ponds, reed beds, wet woodlands and canals within one of the most famous wetlands of the world.
Waterbirds are present with many species and in big numbers (even up to 15.000).
Our visit to WWF’s Oasis Valle Averto
We have decided to take the guided tour.
It has a been a very good choice as we have been told many things that we wouldn’t have learnt of.
At the entrance there is an old typical “burcio“, a boat used in the lagoon.
Near the enyrance there is also adidatoc path with a pond.
You can follow the instructional path through explanatory panels, simple and fast to read.
We continued our visit with the guide, prepared and kind with children.

If you are lucky you can see also turtles (pictures are from the Oasis Valle Averto).
