A cycling tour that follows one of Sardinia’s greatest natural treasures. For us, the Coghinas River and its artificial lakes are a vital source of life and support our key economic activities—pastoralism and agriculture.

Sardinians, now increasingly conscious of the environment, have come to value it also for its rich wildlife. The river’s waterways are an ideal habitat for many rare bird species.

Thanks to the water’s quality, the area has become a paradise of flora and fauna. The delta, in particular, is home to numerous bird species that have settled here permanently. It’s also a frequent stopover for migratory birds.

Especially in spring and autumn, you can witness a continuous passage of species. Even flamingos are no longer a rarity.

The tour continues along the river, past the Casteldoria thermal baths and toward Perfugas. A few kilometers before reaching Perfugas, the route descends toward the lake. From there, the path climbs back up into the hills.

Once at the top, you can enjoy a breathtaking sea view and continue taking in the stunning panorama during the descent. Reaching the valley, the tour continues to the right along the river toward Valledoria.

Along this river route, you can admire the picturesque riverscape, untouched nature, and the relaxing atmosphere offered by the Coghinas River.
