★★★★★Edited 2 years agoIt’s a beautiful park with a rare tree that it’s worth spending some time with. Although it’s not for those with walking difficulties as it has elevations and unevenness. Love that there are chickens, peacocks and geese roaming freely. And there are benches for those who wants a place to chill and have their meals.

★★★★★4 months agoA true gem of a park! Tapada das Necessidades is a beautiful riddle to explore, featuring remarkable old buildings, enormous cacti, and free-roaming peacocks. An incredibly inspiring place to spend an afternoon.
