Ribeira Grande Waterfall
Highlight • Waterfall
This waterfall begins at the end of the Levada Alecrim at Km3... Very beautiful motifs arise in the morning.

Waterfall at the entrance to Fajã do Rodrigues Tunnel
Highlight • Waterfall
That's just something for the hard-core. We turned around a third. After a while, one wonders why I voluntarily walk through a narrow, dripping tunnel through which I have to go back.

Ribeira Seca Gorge Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Gorge
Here the hiker meets the stream bed of the ravine Ribeira Seca ou do Paul. A splendid spot that, when overcome, offers a much more magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean.

Have just been sent back (January 2021) by the mountain rescue service on the way to the "steep ascent" because a man had an accident on this way. The highlight is not worth the risk. Not recommendable.
