São Vicente is located west of Santana and Machico and east of Porto Moniz, linked by roadway to Santana and the western part of the island. It is also home to the São Vicente Caves.

The municipality includes three civil parishes, that handle local government administration:

• Boaventura – physically the largest parish, but with the smallest population density, it is located in the northeast coast of the municipality, and ultimately the last to be settled
• Ponta Delgada – a small parish, nestled between two promontories
• São Vicente – the largest parish in population and density, home to the municipal seat; it had a population of 3,139 (in 2011) in an area of 44.14 km2

Thus, you can enjoy a quiet walk to appreciate endemic species such as the laurel tree (Laurus novocanariensis) - the abundance of which justifies the name of the forest -, the 'Madre-de-Louro' (Laurobasidium laurii) fungi genus, the Til (Ocotea foetens) or the Madeira mahogany (Persea indica).

This ecosystem, which also includes plants such as the Lily-of-the-Valley Tree (Clethra arborea), the Firetree (Morella faya) and the Madeira Blueberry (Vaccinium padifolium), for example, is home to a rich birdlife.
