Time in nature restores balance: it eases stress, lifts mood, and deepens sleep. It sharpens focus, builds resilience, and sparks creativity. It strengthens memory, renews energy, and calms anxiety. It nurtures mindfulness, improves fitness, and supports immunity. Most of all, it fosters connection, enriches well-being, and inspires a sense of wonder.

 

Modern life pulls us into screens, routines, and closed spaces, leaving us disconnected from the natural world. This disconnection is what many call nature deficit disorder—a growing challenge with real impacts on our health, happiness, and sense of belonging. Our mission is to help restore that balance by guiding people back to nature’s rhythms, right here in the Lisbon region.

​

Lisbon and its surroundings are blessed with extraordinary landscapes—wild coastlines, hidden forests, ancient trails, and quiet river valleys. These places are not just beautiful to look at; they are spaces where we can slow down, breathe deeply, and remember that we are part of something bigger. We aim to showcase these natural wonders and make them accessible to everyone, from lifelong locals to curious travellers.

​

Research shows that time outdoors reduces stress, improves mood, boosts creativity, and strengthens our bodies. But beyond the science, nature also inspires wonder. Watching the waves crash on a rugged beach, walking beneath centuries-old oaks, or listening to birdsong in a valley—these moments spark joy and clarity that no screen or city street can provide.

 

We want to encourage people to make these experiences part of their everyday lives.

Our mission is straightforward: to reconnect people with Lisbon's landscapes in ways that are meaningful, sustainable, and enjoyable. By offering guidance, stories, and practical tips, we hope to make exploration feel natural and rewarding. Whether through a quiet hike, a family outing, or a spontaneous walk in the woods, Nature Fix – Lisboa is here to remind you that the cure for modern life is often as close as the nearest trail.
