Itinerary
1
Dalberto Pombo Environmental Interpretation Centre
The Dalberto Pombo Environmental Interpretation Center (CIADP) was the result of the reconstruction of a building at the beginning of the historic area of Vila do Porto. This Center houses the estate of the naturalist Dalberto Pombo, a pioneer in the study of the geological and biological diversity of the island and its main objective is to promote the knowledge of the natural heritage, in a dynamic and interactive way, with an educational and scientific character.
2
Barreiro da Faneca
Barreiro da Faneca is an extensive area of arid and clayey terrain, belonging mainly to the geological unit called "Formation of Feteiras", constituting a semi-desert landscape of yellow-reddish color, unique in the Azores.
3
Ribeira do Maloas
In its downstream part, the bed of Ribeira do Maloás, in place of Malbusca, presents a waterfall in an extensive outcrop of basaltic columns with 15 to 20 m high and an extension of about 220 m. This prismatic, or columnar, disjunction is associated with a subaero basaltic lava flow from the Pico Alto Volcanic Complex, whose prisms, of notable dimensions, are truncated at the top revealing a hexagonal polygon floor of the “Calçada de Gigantes” type, a volcanic structure world famous from Ireland.
4
Cascata do Aveiro
It is one of the largest waterfalls in Portugal, one hundred meters high. At the base of the waterfall there is a shallow lake and, on one of the banks, a place where you can have a picnic.
