Tourists can take part in activities such as hiking, boat trips and kayaking in the park, or visit other Portuguese destinations such as the Azores and the Porto Santo islands to enjoy similar pursuits.
Miguel Perestrello, Portugal"s director of tourism in the UK, said: "Geo-tourism is an effective way of stimulating economic activity whilst promoting sustainable tourism.
"We want to offer a whole range of tourism products, starting from the typical sun and sea holiday to the geo-tourism or eco-tourism nature breaks which encourage the preservation of our geological heritage and natural surroundings."
The Portuguese National Tourist Office recently announced that it was launching a campaign to encourage more British travel to the Azores archipelago.
