Description

LAND AND SEA Circuit Ponta do Sol – Cruzinha, Ponta do Sol Duration: 4 to 5 hours Distance: 15 km Difficulty: Medium Itinerary: To reach Cruzinha and start our trail, we will travel by vehicle from the village of Ponta do Sol, located on the northeast coast of the island. Known in colonial times as Vila de Maria Pia, in honor of Queen Maria Pia of Savoy. We will explore the history of the island's only airstrip, currently inactive, while our local population engages in fishing activities. Upon reaching the Cruzinha locality, we will traverse pedestrian paths in a zigzag fashion, featuring captivating views of the landscape, alternating between the ocean and imposing mountains, along with breathtaking deep valleys. On our route, we will head towards various localities, including the beautiful village of Fontainhas, highlighting the picturesque village of Corvo, a lush area with water springs throughout the year. Corvo offers opportunities for mountain climbing, providing a unique experience for us. We will also pass through the village of Formiguinhas, known for a beach called Praia d'Aranhas with black sand, a unique attraction.
