September 13, 2023,São Miguel - 🐓 Trilho do Sanguinho 💦 🇵🇹

Unfortunately, our vacation in the Azores is now coming to an end, so today we went on our last tour of São Miguel.

August 11, 2022,2 Wasserfälle - eine Wanderung. Salto do Cagarrão und Prego, Runde von Água Retorta

If you don't like so many people, you'll be more happy with the upper waterfall, the Cagarrão.
You can swim at both, but it's... cold.
We started at the bottom and first went up the mountain to …
