Location:

The Queen's Fernery is a remarkable space located in the Sintra area, an integral part of the vast Pena Park. This nook, situated in a valley topography, invites a tranquil exploration of the region's botanical and scenic richness. Its positioning offers a deeply immersive experience in the lush nature that defines this locality.

A Garden of Exoticism:

This place is distinguished by hosting an impressive collection of tree ferns. These plants, with their lush foliage and singular stature, originate from distant ecosystems, such as Australia and New Zealand. Walking among them, one feels an unusual atmosphere, transporting visitors to faraway lands.

Unique Landscape and Environment:

The Queen's Fernery is nestled in a valley with exceptional climatic conditions, conducive to the development of its unique vegetation. The landscape is dominated by the presence of an impressive Giant Arborvitae, one of the most notable trees in the park, which stands like a sentinel. The valley is traversed by a small stream, and its banks are lined with tall deciduous oaks. The canopies of these trees, merging at the top, create an impressive natural vault, evoking the grandeur of a Gothic cathedral nave, a visual effect that leaves a lasting impression on those who discover it.
