The tour combines nature, colours, textures and local history, passing by viewpoints such as Craveiro Lopes and Portal, Rocha dos Bordões, the famous Rocha dos Frades and the historic parish of Lajes das Flores.
At the end, there is time to relax and, weather permitting, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Poço Redondo, a spot still rarely visited by tourists.
