Location

The Fanal Forest Station is located in the parish of Seixal, within the municipality of Porto Moniz. This location is situated in an elevated area, often characterized by the presence of fog, which lends the landscape a singular and enveloping atmosphere. Its position allows for an immersive experience in the rich nature of Madeira Island, away from more urbanized areas.

The Tis Forest

At the center of the Fanal Forest Station stands out its ancient Tis forest. These ancestral trees, with their robust trunks and characteristic branches, are striking elements of the landscape. Their advanced age and the way they develop give the place a distinct environment, where natural light, when visible through the foliage, creates plays of shadow and luminosity that enhance the rustic and timeless beauty of the forest.

An Ecological Sanctuary

This space is a representative example of the Laurissilva forest, a natural heritage of great ecological relevance. The environment at the Fanal Forest Station invites a tranquil and contemplative experience, where it is possible to observe the diversity of local flora up close. The serenity emanating from this ecosystem provides an authentic contact with nature, ideal for those seeking to enjoy the quietude and verdant exuberance of Madeira.
