Bussaco (or “Buçaco“ in its old spelling) is a magical forest with around 700 varieties of trees. Many of them were brought to Europe by Portuguese explorers from Africa and the New World, including 300 exotic species such as Himalayan pines and Mexican cedars, is a delightful refuge of cypress groves, ferns, statues, fountains, and formal gardens. It's also home to the Palace Hotel do Bussaco. The Cruz Alta (1795 feet) is the highest point on the mountain range which commands a magnificent view over the Serra da Estrela mountain, the Mondego River Valley and the Atlantic. Hot springs of the village of Luso became known throughout Portugal due to its healing properties. Soon after, spa resorts were developed, and tourists came flocking into town during the summer months. Aside from this, Luso, Portugal is also famous for its spring water. Currently, Luso spring water is being marketed as Luso’s Bottled Mineral Water, and many consider this as one of the best in Portugal. Many thanks :
