The route passes Ponta do Sossego and Ponta da Madrugada and continues to Povoação. It is a day with several stops, useful if you want to see coastal scenery from a single base.
An active plan in the same part of the island
Canyoning at Ribeira dos Caldeirões trades the viewpoints for a guided descent in the water. Book it separately if that is the main reason for your day.
