Volcanic Landscape of Ponta de São Lourenço

Highlight • Volcano

The landscape looks like a lunar landscape, rugged terrain, undulating, no real path visible.

Dreamlike cliffs - Levada - round and not very well-trodden 😄.

View of Caniçal

Highlight • Viewpoint

This vantage point is especially beautiful - on the Levada, which probably takes its name from the city of the same name ...

We started near Machico, where we hiked along the Levada do Caniçal. The path led through green slopes, accompanied by the sound of water and wide views over the deep blue sea. Below us lay the small fishing village of Caniçal and in the distance shone the easternmost cape Ponta de São Lourenço.
