A former maize farm near Ponte de Lima, now home to over a thousand trees and a barefoot trail that wakes up all five senses.

About this place

This ecopark in Freixo, Ponte de Lima, was once a farm of maize fields. Today it has more than a thousand large trees: Portuguese oaks, olive, chestnut, cherry, red oaks, poplars, orange and mandarin trees.

Here you can feel nature directly and rediscover sensations you may have forgotten — what it's like to walk barefoot on the earth. Explore the senses of sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste; above all, share, have fun and feel good.

Open to the general public, it offers activities for every age and a programme for schools, and it belongs to the international Children & Nature Network.
