A map through nature in the winter

During winter, the coldest season, animals seek shelter, and the lush green of plants retreats. However, some hardy species brave the low temperatures, adorning Parque Terra Nostra with their vibrant flowers, infusing color and life into the landscape.


In this itinerary, explore the famous Camellia, Cycad, and Fern Collection alongside the grandeur of Rhododendrons and Metrosideros, all while reveling in the vibrant hues of Orchids. 

 

In experiencing this mystical journey through our gardens, you'll encounter significant historical landmarks, such as the grottoes, the majestic Botania Hall, or the Memorial to the Viscounts of Praia and Monforte.
