Tips
Fajã dos Cubres marks the end point of the route that begins in Serra do Topo. A beautiful and idyllic place by the sea. For those who choose to return walking, it is an obligatory stopping point. However, it is also possible to return from here by taxi to the start.

If you come to Sao Jorge, you'll most likely want to take one of the hikes to Caldeira de Santo Cristo.
The flat and short route there starts from the Faja dos Cubres and is definitely a feast for the eyes.
The sound of the waves and how they pull the rounded lava rocks back into the sea is almost meditative. 🤌translated by•June 21, 2025
