Com piscinas naturais e praias fluviais encantadoras, tem como pano de fundo uma área florestal diversificada e predominantemente xistosa, adornado por uma flora composta por carvalhos, castanheiros, medronheiros, e por espécies resinosas. A cobertura vegetal existente na Área Protegida da Serra do Açor, integrante da Rede de Reservas Biogenéticas do Concelho da Europa e sítio de interesse comunitário devido ao seu inigualável valor natural, é predominantemente composta por carvalho, medronheiro, aveleira, cerejeira, madressilva, martagão e urze, cujo pólen serve para apaladar o tão saboroso mel da Serra do Açor.
