The landscapes on the way up Pico da Vara change with each step, highlighting the different microclimates of the Azores. Some points offer stunning views of the coast, in others the hiker finds himself surrounded by forests. It is worth mentioning that in some places the surface can become slippery and treacherous due to the mud.

The sea can be seen, only in one direction but still beautiful.
