Gardens, Parks and Forests

In the Cabouco Velho Forest Park, at an altitude of 500 metres, you have the chance to enjoy nature to the full. Footpaths, a picnic area, a threshing-floor and a children's playground will help you to enjoy some pleasant moments.

If you're fond of plants, you can discover some cryptomerias, pine-trees, cypresses and sequoias. Pay special attention to the endemic species, such as the lily of the valley tree, dogwood, Azores juniper and the pau-branco ("wood-white"), and enrich your botanical knowledge.
