The Jardim e Gruta Luís de Camões (Camoes Garden and Groto) is a park on the northeast part of Macau. It used to be the grounds of the Casa Garden, the house belonging to the chairman of the British East India Company. After the British moved out in 1835, the Portuguese owner added a grotto around the bust of Luis de Camoes, Portugal's national poet. The bust was installed in 1886 when the gardens became state property. Although the garden was named after Luis de Camoes, it is not certained whether he had ever visited the place. Behind the grotto, pathways lead up a hill with spreads of ferns, fan palms, flowering plants and banyan trees.

At the entrance to the garden is a fountain and a sculpture entitled "Embrace". It was created to symbolize the friendship between Portugal and China.
