Introducing Luso & the Buçaco Forest

This region is oh-so-pretty with its dense forest of century-old trees surrounded by countryside dappled with heather, wildflowers and leafy ferns. There’s even a palace here; a wedding-cake affair, which somehow works. Buçaco was chosen as a retreat by 16th-century monks and surrounds the lovely spa town of Luso.

The tourist office (/fax 231 939 133; Av Emídio Navarro) has maps and leaflets about the forest and trails, as well as free Internet access. The Termas (thermal baths; 231 937 910; Av Emídio Navarro; admission free; May-Oct) offers a range of treatments.
