Church of Nossa Senhora da Penha de França

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful church on the Island of São Miguel, built between 1870 and 1885. A curiosity is the fact that the present bell tower dates back to a time even before the current church. Very well finished.

São Miguel Coast Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This section is part of the PRC 13 route, and offers a unique approach to the coast of São Miguel Island, not recommended for those who suffer from vertigo. You also cross a stream and native forest. ATTENTION: despite being an official path, it is highly difficult. Furthermore, consult official bodies about the condition of the trail, as landslides have been reported in the area.

Bell Tower of the Old Hermitage

Highlight • Monument

There was once an old hermitage here, dating back to the seventeenth century. The site fell into ruins, and what remained was this beautiful bell tower, surprisingly still very well preserved.

October 1, 2022, Wanderung

Great tour through the "Jungle" Little known tour , were the only ones that day . Start at the church in Aqua Retorta, parking spaces + hiking sign available. Initially through the village, then following the narrow path steeply down to the sea. Arriving at the sea turn left to the waterfall - only there if it rained before ... Now comes the no less steep ascent. Good physical condition + good shoes required. Exhausting but beautiful tour.
