The “Parco di Portofino” extends on a surface of about 1200 hectares and includes the town areas of Recco, Camogli, Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Rapallo, Zoagli and Chiavari.

The Park offers a global view of the ligurian morphological characteristics, with steep slopes and a co evolution between nature and the constant human activity with the cultivation of vineyards, chestnut woods and olive groves. A wide variety of environments that alternate from the coast to the hinterland.

Black hornbeams, ash trees, chestnut trees, hazels and maple trees extend on the northern side, while a thick Mediterranean maquis with a prevalence of heather, strawberry tree, lentisk, myrtle, pine woods, holm oak forests, ampelodesma grasslands and bracken fern extend on the southern side.
