Monte Brasil, Nature reserve in Angra do Heroísmo, Portugal.

Monte Brasil encompasses a volcanic peninsula connected to Terceira Island, featuring extensive forest areas and multiple walking trails through diverse vegetation.

The establishment of this protected area occurred on August 30, 1989, under management of the Regional Directorate of Forest Resources.

Monte Brasil serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local ecosystems through organized programs and guided nature walks.

The reserve provides marked trails, viewing points, and informational panels that guide visitors through different sections of the protected natural area.

This extinct volcano rises from the Atlantic Ocean to form a peninsula that contains Fort São João Baptista, built during the Philippine Dynasty.
