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.

Waterfall in Caldeirão do Inferno Gorge
Highlight • Waterfall
Nice little gorge that is somewhat reminiscent of the big ones in the Alps.
While the Caldeirão do Inferno was dry in August, water still came down here.
