The Volcanism Centre is located next to the São Vicente Caves, in the cliff opposite the São Vicente brook, in an enchanting village on the north coast of Madeira, at the bottom of the valley where the formation of the island began. It brings culture and knowledge together with leisure and entertainment in a pavilion that allows 90 visitors at a time to watch audiovisual shows that recreate the geological evolution of the caves, the eruption of a volcano and a simulation of the birth of the Archipelago of Madeira in an educational and entertaining way. This centre is designed to complement a visit to the Caves, using them as an example of the geological formation of Madeira. Serving as a centre for bringing together knowledge, it seeks to disseminate technical and scientific information. The Garden is predominantly made up of endemic plants and is provided with a series of footpaths, where the elements of forest and waterways come together in harmony and seek to pay homage to water and to life.
