Calheta周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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. 🤌

The Fajã de Santo Cristo was not formed by a lava flow like most other fajas, but by the undermining of the rocks and the collapse of the overlying rock walls.

Came around 17h and found not a single soul, so could enjoy the pool all to myself

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 to walking, it is a mandatory stopping point. However, it is also possible to return from here by taxi to the start.

Just look at a map to realize that São Jorge Island is a long mountain range - even with the Atlantic hiding and submerging much of the mountain range. The highest point of the Island is Pico da Esperança, with its 1053 meters of altitude, a volcanic mountain with abundant vegetation of high botanical value.

Fajã de Além, located on the north coast of the island of São Jorge, is accessible via two paths that take approximately 3 hours. It is characterized by its drinking water streams and a historic water mill. The fajã has around 20 houses inhabited mainly on weekends and is known for growing corn, sweet potatoes, cabbage and yams. The transport of goods is done by a system of cables and animals, maintaining its isolated and traditional nature.

Beautiful church right on the beach. Good place to take a short break on your hike. Here you will find peace and shade.
