Corvo Wild Birds Interpretation Centre
Corvo Wild Birds Interpretation Centre
The Corvo Wild Birds Interpretation Centre is a mandatory stop for those who wish to get to know the Nature Park, as well as the Corvo Island Biosphere Reserve.
Here you can discover the wild birds that occur in the archipelago, and know a bit more about the practice of birdwatching, the tourism activity that places Corvo Island as a location of high importance in the context of international birdwatching.
In this exhibition, visitors have access to several multimedia equipment, which allow them to obtain information related to the Nature Park and the Azores birdlife, including a sightings’ registration screen, a hologram and a book with illustrations of wintering, migratory, nesting and accidental birds. They also have the opportunity to "travel" along the island through a virtual reality experience, for a better understanding of the interaction between Man and the environment.
The Centre also includes Corvo's last mill where, until the beginning of the 60's, was carried out the island's main flourishing process.
