Description: Mangrove of Herons Garden in Belem
Mangal das Garcas
A stunning park located within the Cidade Velha area of Belem, just behind the Navy Arsenal, the Mangal das Garcas has become something of a city oasis, being favoured by many indigenous birds. The style of landscaping and planting is quite contemporary, with modern lighting, boardwalks, a stylish lighthouse, irregular lagoons, marshes and pleasant views across the river. Look out for the butterfly house, the white herons, the scarlet ibises and the walk-through aviary. Of interest, the Mangal das Garcas was a gift to the city from the navy, who donated this land, and was officially inaugurated as recently as the beginning of 2005.
