The Mountain Villages Project is framed by the PROVERE iNature - Sustainable Tourism in Classified Areas Collective Efficiency Strategy of Centro 2020, more precisely in executing the Eixo Experimentação: Knowledge Villages.
The iNature consortium is dedicated to innovate and mobilize the territory through Nature Tourism in the classified áreas of the Center region of Portugal, with a special focus in Serra da Estrela Natural Park and Serra da Gardunha Regional Protected Landscape.
