Ribeira Grande Village and Waterfall

Highlight • Settlement

Small village where the PR21 "Caminho do Norte" route begins, towards Boca da Encumeada. It is a hidden tourist village with few attractions, but peaceful and far from buses and immersed in nature.

Stone Steps on PR21 Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Hiking sticks are helpful and good physical condition too, you climb a lot on the section!

On a clear day, the pass opens up viewpoints that allow you to observe the ocean both to the north and to the south.

The climb to the pass is done by a climb that includes many steps in a lush forest.

April 28, 2025, Gratweg von Encumeada Pass zum Pico Casado und zurück Wanderung Komoot

Unfortunately the ridge path was closed again and the little extra loop wasn't anything special except that we had to go down 1824 steps and then back up again 😰😄
