A great way for a charming hike to Pico Branco, the second largest peak on the island with fantastic photo opportunities.
  • Pico Branco.

  • Second highest peak on the island.

  • Charming hike.

  • Free time at view points (photo opportunities).


This hike is located at the northeastern tip of the island and will take you to the top of the second highest peak on the island, Pico Branco. It is said that the path was originally designed to facilitate the passage of donkeys when growing barley in Terra Chã. It is a charming hike, because the paths run through the peak and you can see the mountains, the cliffs, the beach, the sea and the beautiful mountain curves, composed mainly of fantastic rock formations, which mix here and there with fauna and flora typical of the region .
