Mistério de São João Forest Recreation Reserve

Highlight • Forest

The Mistério de São João Forest Recreation Reserve is a forest park located in the parish of São João, in the municipality of Lajes do Pico, on Pico Island in the Azores. Covering an area of 212 hectares between the parishes of São Caetano and São João, the park is called "Mistério" due to a volcanic eruption in 1718 that destroyed a chapel dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. The park features leisure areas such as picnic spots, a playground, and hiking trails, and is home to notable tree and shrub species like maritime pine and cryptomeria.
