OUR NATURE
Marruge is considered a true botanical garden in the Serra do Caramulo, with several species identified as rare or very rare in Portugal. When visiting Marruge, you can hug centuries-old chestnut trees, listen to frogs and crickets, whistle with the blackbird, visit waterfalls, discover nature trails and have a picnic under a laurel tree with your feet in the crystal-clear waters of the Marruge river.
