Brama

The "Brama dos Gamos" is an exciting spectacle that takes place during the mating season of these animals. This phenomenon can be witnessed in all its grandeur in the village of Varge, located in the Montesinho Natural Park. During the brama, the male fallow deer emit loud cries, engage in territorial fights and compete to attract females. The brama takes place between the end of September and October, making Varge a privileged place to observe this spectacle of nature. To enjoy this experience to the full, it is advisable to be there at sunset and dawn, the times when the fallow deer are most active. During the day, fallow deer activity is less frequent, and fallow deer tend to be more cautious, fleeing at any sign of human approach. To explore the brama, focus your attention on the road linking Varge to Rio De Onor, an area that offers sighting opportunities. Watching the brama in Varge is a unique and memorable experience in the midst of wildlife, with no predefined costs or schedules. As you explore the Montesinho Natural Park, with its vast 75,000 hectares, you have the chance to witness this extraordinary phenomenon in a stunning setting.
