Sardinia's largest urban park lies on the border between the provinces of Oristano and Nuoro, a botanical paradise of rare plants and a wonderful destination for nature lovers.
In the historic area of Sarcidano there is a place where you can take beautiful walks along nature trails surrounded by countless plant species and medieval ruins: the Ayermich Park, a 22-hectare oasis that until 1990 was the property of the margraves, the feudal ones owners of this oasis of land. The creator of this nature reserve was Don Ignazio Ayermich Ripoli, a botanist who brought back rare plants from his numerous trips abroad from the mid-19th century.

It is an unusual excursion since it is located in the heart of the town of Laconi, about 60 km from Oristano and 90 km from Cagliari. The walk takes you through alleys decorated with a fresh and lively atmosphere. It begins in a forest of oaks, olive groves and black locust trees, dotted with natural ponds, streams, waterfalls and ponds. As you venture deeper into the park you will see a wide variety of orchids, including native ones such as Ophris laconensis and Sarcidanis. Among the tree avenues are unusual forms of vegetation such as Pyracantha coccinea and Collectia cruciata, whose leaves resemble military aircraft, as well as exotic plants such as the majestic Lebanon and Himalayan cedar, trees of exceptional size. Then there are plants from not far away but not common plants such as the Corsican pine, the Fagus sylvatica, the southern magnolia and the Taxus baccata, known as the “tree of death”. Water is a recurring theme and a source of life for the park. It flows in abundance all year round, forming rivers that then fall, such as the Cascata Maggiore or "great waterfalls", one of the park's many attractions.
