    On the first third of the trail is the Petra Rija viewpoint. Directly behind it, the stairway leads to nothingness on a narrow fore-summit. Especially when the summit is shrouded in fog, the trail looks incredibly spectacular. In reality it is not as steep as it appears in the photos.

      The Pedra Rija viewpoint is located approximately 1.2 km from the starting point at Pico do Areeiro. Shortly after this point, the impressive stairway begins, characterized by steps carved into the rock and narrow paths. This section offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain landscape and is a highlight of the hike.
