Nature Park of Faial, Nature reserve in Horta, Portugal
The Nature Park of Faial spreads across 173 square kilometers, featuring volcanic formations, coastal areas, and dense vegetation zones throughout the island territory.
The establishment of the park in 2011 marked a crucial step in preserving Faial's natural heritage, involving regional authorities and environmental organizations.
The park incorporates the Faial Botanical Garden, which maintains collections of native plant species and conducts research on local flora conservation.
Visitors can access multiple walking trails with different difficulty levels, connecting key locations such as Caldeira, Morro de Castelo Branco, and Capelinhos.
The Capelinhos Volcano Interpretative Centre documents the 1957-58 eruption that expanded the island's territory and modified its western landscape.
