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.

The tour time can vary according to how many stairs that you want to climb, The beauty of this extinct volcano is breath taking. There are so many photo opportunities. I would have to rate this as a sting MUST SEE.

Amazingly beautiful and worth every step you need to climb to reach this beautiful garden with a tranquil healthy and mostly vegetarian restaurant. The views of Angra from the restaurant are breathtaking.

We picnic everywhere and this lovely natural seascape was perfect to sit and watch the relentless crashing of the waves. I am sure in the right season it is calm and inviting for swimming, certainly a lot of effort has been put in for that with pathways and railings into the sea. December is not the time it is better to watch from dry land if you were swept away there would be zero chance to survive. we did explore as much as we could and were coated in salty sea spray for our efforts. LOL

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
