Vereda dos Zimbreiros

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path is rudimentary paved. Every now and then my 1A has views of the ocean or the place below. The various colorful plant life along the way are then the icing on the cake;)

Levada da Fajã

Highlight • Trail

to walk without great height - this hike invites you to relax and think - at the Levada you can cross for many miles, but in wet weather a bit slippery.
