Description

Take in breathtaking views of lush nature, volcanic rocks and ocean landscapes on this guided trip to Ponta do Sol, Fontainhas and Cruzinha. Picnic on the black sand beach of Praia das Aranhas and take part in a 2.5-hour hiking adventure. Choose between private and shared tour options. After boarding, explore Ponta do Sol on foot, a seaside fishing village with colourful houses. Follow a scenic road along rocky cliffs that hang over the ocean for unforgettable views of the sea. Then follow a winding road carved into the top of a mountain and surrounded by deep valleys to the picturesque village of Fontainhas, one of the 10 villages with the best views in the world according to National Geographic. Following a steep descent and a footpath, you cross Corvo, Formiguinhas, and some breathtaking views to the Aranhas valley. Then arrive at a beautiful black sand beach, Praia das Aranhas, a place to spot nesting turtles and swim, depending on the sea conditions. There, find a picturesque spot on the coast for a well-deserved rest and picnic (food and drinks not included). After recharging your batteries, start your 2.5-hour hike between volcanic rocks and the ocean, offering breathtaking views until you reach Cruzinha, a small fishing village with the most memorable views of the coast. At the end of your unforgettable day, sit back and relax on the transfer back to your accommodation.
