Cambarinho Botanical Reserve, Natura 2000 protected area in Vouzela, Portugal
The Cambarinho Botanical Reserve spans 24 hectares on the northern slope of Caramulo Mountain, featuring granite soils and numerous rock formations.
The reserve received official protection status through Decree-Law 364/71 in August 1971 to safeguard the Rhododendron ponticum populations.
The reserve represents a vital component of Vouzela's natural heritage, maintaining the largest concentration of oleander plants in Portugal.
Visitors can explore the circular walking route extending 1.4 kilometers along the Cambarinho river stream, with clear signage guiding the path.
The reserve contains rare specimens of Rhododendron ponticum, remnants of the Tertiary Era's Laurissilva forest that once covered Southern Europe.
