Tips

Hiking

Nice view in itself. However, not to be underestimated. The “path” leads over a single sea of stones and rocks. Some of the paths are very, very close to the unsecured cliff. You also sometimes have to climb over deep rock crevices and gorges. The hiking trail markings are not always directly visible. Definitely not for beginners. Wear-resistant and safe shoes (ankle-high hiking boots) are absolutely necessary. If you're into adventure and aren't afraid of heights - go for it.

Hiking

The lava field makes up about 1/3 of the coastal hiking trail from Calhau to Manhena. The stones have very sharp edges and full concentration is required, both when taking the steps and also in order to keep finding the path markings. The path is particularly scenic, with the rock gate being a particular highlight.
