Terra Nostra Park

This is an impressive and historic garden within a fabulous hotel! The Parque Terra Nostra, or Our Land Park, was constructed along with the Municipal Park of Ribeira Grande, one of the most popular parks, and two of the most important on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores archipelago. This garden dates back to the 18th century, when the American Thomas Hickling came to make a fortune on Sao Miguel and created one of the most beautiful gardens and the island paradise. I personally recommend the tour through the garden's winding roads to discover for yourselves all the flora that has grown over hundreds of years, surrounding lakes where many swans bathe.
