Forest Bathing

Rejuvenate yourself with an experience that begins with a 2 km walk. The difficulty level varies between easy and intermediate as we will ascend to the beginning of our forest. The rest of the walk will be easy and comfortable. Along the way, we will engage in activities to connect with nature by activating our senses.

At the end of the journey, to conclude it in the best way, we will have a tea ceremony.

Shirin Yoku, or Forest Bathing, is a well-being practice performed in a natural environment. You will feel its calming effects as you walk and activate your senses.

The Azores provide excellent conditions for this practice as the Cryptomeria (Japanese Cedar) releases therapeutic monoterpenes. These benefits contribute to an effective "recharge." Providing access to a higher level of rest and regeneration, whose effects will endure over time.

Here, the forest and water will always be present. Let yourself be surprised by its beauty, fragrances, textures, and flavors. You are here for a brief visit. Take your time, relax, and don't forget to smell the flowers along the way.

What to bring: Suitable walking shoes, Comfortable clothing for rain and/or sun, Water, and a mat to sit on.
