November 6, 2024,🇵🇹 Açores- São Jorge: von Fajã dos Cubres bis zum Lagoa da Santo Cristo

Since I have a car here, it was clear that I would drive to the west of the island today. But a hiking tour had to be included. I wasn't entirely happy with the tours suggested by komoot... But there are few circular tours on São Jorge!

Today, perfect Azores weather again. 🌧️ And yet, the day was full of wonders. 🪄

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 it's definitely a feast for the eyes. It's hard to imagine …

January 7, 2023,Von der Faja dos Cubres zur Faja da Caldeira Santo Christo

Planned as a flat coastal tour, it ended up being 360 meters in altitude 🙈

Great track with 2 special fajas. They each have a lake that is supplied with fresh water by the tide.

The tide was pretty heavy today in combination with quite strong winds, the waves are worth seeing. Unfortunately, you can't upload videos, you can see …
