Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: The Laurisilva Forest hosts ancient, lush green laurel trees that are remnants of a subtropical forest from millions of years ago. It covers about 15,000 hectares and is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique biodiversity.
Punti salienti: Walking through the mist-covered paths, you’ll find moss hanging like natural curtains on every branch and vibrant endemic plants carpeting the ground. Streams create a peaceful soundtrack, and the rare Madeira firecrest bird might flutter nearby, adding a magical touch.
Consigli da insider
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes as some trails can be slippery and uneven.
- Bring a rain jacket; the forest often experiences sudden misty showers.
- Stop at the viewpoint near the Queimadas Forest Reserve for stunning panoramas.
- Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds and enjoy a peaceful walk.
