Madeira Natural Park, Protected nature reserve on Madeira Island, Portugal.

The park extends across 444 square kilometers of Madeira Island, containing diverse landscapes from coastal areas to mountain regions with native forests.

Established in 1982, the park emerged as a response to protect the island's natural heritage, covering two-thirds of Madeira's total territory.

The reserve maintains numerous walking trails through the Laurissilva forest, reflecting centuries of local population movement across the mountainous terrain.

Visitors need permits from park authorities to access certain areas like the Desertas Islands and Selvagens Islands within the protected zones.

The park houses the Laurissilva forest, containing tree species from the Lauraceae family that survived the last ice age in this region.
