Location

Zambujeiro Lake is located in the Santo Estêvão area, part of the municipality of Benavente. It is situated within a vast rural property, often referred to as Herdade do Zambujeiro (Zambujeiro Estate). This location, deep in the Ribatejo region, offers close contact with the characteristic landscape of the area, dominated by cork and holm oak woodlands (montado) and more open spaces.

Its position within this estate grants it an atmosphere of tranquility, away from urban hustle, providing a serene setting integrated into the natural surroundings.

The Water Features

The site is distinguished by the presence of water features that define the landscape. There is a natural lake, which integrates organically with the surrounding vegetation and terrain. There is also a constructed lake, designed with its own system that ensures water circulation and renewal.

This artificial lake, in particular, is suitable for fishing. The presence of these two bodies of water significantly contributes to the serenity and scenic ambiance of Zambujeiro, reflecting the sky and the surrounding vegetation.
