We took bus 3 from Biscoitos to the start of this trail. We were happily surprised that the bus stopped right at the start (unlike other trails on the island). The trail takes you from meadows to the sea and back. Along the way there are some beautiful viewpoints where you can see the waves bash into the cliffs. At certain points you have the option to decent the cliffs, but this is very challenging and possibly dangerous. Nonetheless I gave them a go, while my girlfriend watched from a distance with fear in her eyes for my safety. After you leave the seaside, you take some overgrown trails which tickle your legs a lot. Because the trail is rather short, we decided to extend it and walk further towards the town Quatro Ribeiras. Here we ate our lunch and waited for the bus back to Biscoitos.

I can’t recommend this place enough. We spent a few hours there and enjoyed every moment. All of the place is in English, except temporary exhibit on history of the building. Was monastery, seminary , now a museum. It covers history of the Azores, 500 years which ties in to Europe and sea faring years , more recent culture, limited military history, recent major earthquake, cultural traditions such as embroidery trade, religion, jesuits, geology of island. It’s all here. And free on Sundays. Otherwise cheap 2 euros. Spend some time here,

The view of the Island from this viewing platform is amazing. From here you can see several dairy farms and may pastures. it is so green. Hint it was very windy/cool on the platform - wear a light weight jacket or sweater.

I did this trail because a friendly couple who had already been on Terceira island referred to me as a beautiful place where it was really worth visiting. And they were right, spectacular trail to do, I thought it was easier to do but it was really worth it! I advise anyone who visiting Terceira island like me, please go on this magnificent trail with beautiful nature landscapes! Thank you grace and it's husband. Virginia Shawver

They do not open till 13:30, but it's a great little stop to learn how they make wine in the Island. Run by 5th generation of the family they know there stuff. Great wine selections and the dessert wine was great we got bottles to take home.
