Faia Brava (Reserva da Faia Brava) is a natural reserve in northern Portugal. It is the first privately owned natural reserve in the country. The reserve covers 856.87 hectares (2,117.4 acres). Bordered by the Côa River, it is part of the Archeological Park of the Côa Valley, a UNESCO world heritage site.
