    Hiking

    From this point, you have a view of both Pico Ruivo and the Encumeada Alta mountain range – a panorama of rugged ridges, deep valleys, and often spectacular cloud formations. Depending on the weather, the mountains glow in the sun or emerge mystically from the mist. It's the perfect spot for a longer photo break and a moment of pure wonder before continuing on the trail.
