Symposium Half-day Excursions Visit to Madeira Botanical Gardens The half-day excursion will be held at the Madeira Botanical Gardens on Monday, 13th, after lunch, during the afternoon. The Madeira Botanical Gardens have become Madeira Island's most treasured and certainly most famous tourist attraction. Within an area of 80,000 square metres you will encounter a truly fascinating collection of more than 2500 plant species. If possible there will be also a visit to the local and traditional Market Place located in Funchal down town. 3 Visit to Ilhéu do Desembarcadouro (for Project AEGRO membres only - maximum 8 persons) Project AEGRO members will have the opportunity to visit the Ilhéu do Desembarcadouro in the eastern side of Madeira Island, where Beta patula occurs - a rare endemic species inhabiting two of the islands of Archipelago of Madeira, including the Desertas and Madeira island itself. This tour will be carried by sea with the collaboration of the Service of the Natural Park of Madeira. The organization will make available a small snack for all participants on leave to the halfday excursion. All participants that sent their complete personal data are covered by excursion insurance. Those that did not send data are also welcome to participate in the excursion but are not insured.
