Location

The Deer Exhibition is located in the picturesque village of Prainha, an integral part of the municipality of São Roque do Pico, on the stunning island of Pico, in the Azores. This place is set in a serene natural environment, where the Azorean landscape unfolds in its full splendor, characterized by lush greenery and frequent panoramic views of the immense Atlantic Ocean. Its strategic position offers a tranquil setting, ideal for contemplation, where the surrounding nature plays a fundamental role in the visitor experience.

A Space Dedicated to Deer

This space was specifically designed for the presentation and observation of a particular species: the deer (Dama dama). These medium-sized ungulates are easily recognizable by their spotted coat, which displays a variety of shades ranging from brownish to lighter tones. The males, in particular, stand out for their impressive broad, palmate antlers, which are renewed annually. The design of the exhibition aims to provide an environment that mimics the natural habitat of deer, allowing visitors a privileged perspective on the morphological characteristics and behavior of this species in a controlled and respectful context.

Harmony with the Island Landscape

The visitor experience at the Deer Exhibition is profoundly enriched by its integration into the unique natural scenery of Pico Island. The surrounding area, shaped by volcanic activity and covered by endemic vegetation of great ecological value, harmoniously complements the encounter with the fauna. It is a place where the quietude of nature aligns with the beauty of the Azorean geological and botanical heritage, inviting a moment of pause and appreciation for wildlife. The focus on observing this species provides a distinct point of interest, fully integrated into the Azorean environmental richness.
