Description

Take in breathtaking views of lush nature, volcanic rocks, and ocean scenery on this guided road trip to Ponta do Sol, Fontainhas, and Cruzinha. Have a picnic on the black-sand beach of Praia das Aranhas and join a 2.5-hour hiking adventure. Choose between private and shared tour options. After pickup, explore on foot in Ponta do Sol, a waterfront fishing village with colorful houses. Follow a scenic road up along rocky cliffs that hover over the ocean for unforgettable views overlooking the sea. Then, head through a winding road sculpted on the top of a mountain and surrounded with deep valleys to the picturesque village of Fontainhas, 1 of the 10 villages with the best views in the world according to National Geographic. Following a steep descent and a pedestrian path, cross Corvo, Formiguinhas, and some dazzling sights to the Aranhas valley. Next, arrive at a beautiful black-sand beach, Praia das Aranhas, a place to spot turtles nesting and to go for a swim, depending on sea conditions. There, find a scenic spot on the shore for a well-deserved rest and picnic (food and drinks not included). After recharging, start your 2.5-hour hike between volcanic rocks and the ocean, offering stunning views until you reach Cruzinha, a small fishing village with more memorable views of the coast. At the end of your unforgettable day, sit back and relax on the return transfer to your accommodation.
