Vereda do Fanal

We drive to the plateau Paul da Serra to Pico da Fajã at 1340 m. Our way leads us over the Pico da Fajã da Lenha with changing views into the area of Rabaçal or the east side to Chão da Ribeira. Once we marvel at the heathland and then again we walk through the laurel forest. In Fanal, over 500 year old stinkberry trees add to a magical fairytale forest. Continue to Porto Moniz. The dramatic landscape in the northwest shows the austere side of the flower island with steep mountains and the wild Atlantic. Watch the spectacle of the surf on the rugged coast and treat yourself to a swim in the natural pools.
