#### Conscious tourism in the Natural Park
 
**The Cooking and Nature Emotional Hotel and The Nest by Cooking and Nature** are surrounded by the stunning natural landscape of Serra D'Aire and Candeeiros, which leads us to appeal for awareness and care to be taken with regard to forest risks.
 Small gestures and choices contribute to the preservation of the Natural Park, the safety of those who live there and those who visit it.

We call for care, given by the ANPC (National Civil Protection Authority):
 Do not throw matches or cigarettes on the floor;
 Avoid throwing away ash and cigarette butts;
 Always have a bottle or container with water;
Do not leave any type of rubbish behind, such as **plastic bottles** or glass.
Do not use flammable materials .
 Our Circle of Fire is lit only if the weather conditions allow it and with the due authorization of the ANPC
**We must all work together for a safe and beautiful world.**
