Wonderful little paths through the thicket. Sometimes you have to struggle through something. Sturdy shoes are definitely recommended. The descent in particular is otherwise not very safe.

Hiking

Sturdy footwear and long trousers are definitely recommended on this tour, as several times narrow paths lead through rough terrain with prickly maquis.

Running

The central portion of the Rocha da Pena route is a ridge where you can observe both the landscape to the north and the landscape to the south. It is possible to develop your run well at this point, paying attention to loose rocks and other irregularities in the ground.
