Camoes Grotto and Gardens were founded in memory of the famous 16th century Portuguese poet, Luis de Camoes . Legend has it that Camoes wrote his epic Os Lusiadas by the rocks in Macau and a bust of the poet stands in the gardens today.

The gardens cover a large area but are delightful for relaxing and walking. The park is filled with locals who bring caged birds here to sing and the small windy paths are discreet enough for visitors to lose themselves among the rockery and trees. The trees here provide welcome shade from the heat of the sun in the summer months.

The Luis de Camoes Museum is also situated in the park.
