Tips
After a long and demanding climb, an incredible view awaits you on the narrow saddle between Pico Ruivo and Pico das Torres. Deep valleys extend on both sides of the pass, almost vertically sloping walls to the west and wide slopes to the east.

The small pass is really nice nasty. It goes extremely steeply uphill and downhill, mostly on extremely steep stairs (sometimes almost ladders). The view is also always great, so it's worth the effort ... ;-)

Along the slope you can admire bizarre tree corpses, which always make a good photo subject.
