    Amazing park, waterfalls, a bar, souvenir shop and even an Airbnb inside the park. Love this place, beautifully designed and taken care of. Congratulations to the guys that work there everyday and congratulations to the municipality.

    We did not had this location on our list initially, but definitely we do not regret coming here. The main waterfall is really nice, if it is hot enough outside you can bathe. There are multiple ones and you can have a walk inside the park, even have a snack/drink.

    Gorgeous area to walk around to see waterfalls, plants and flowers. The top waterfall is close to the parking lot (which doesn't have a large amount of parking) and is very scenic. The path takes you very close to the water. The valley nestled in between the parking lot has amazing scenery! There's a stone building with a tourist office in it & steps down that makes a beautiful picture. Following the path down leads to the top of the waterfall, great perspective being above it. Walking further down the path brings you to the bottom of the falls where there's a pool of water, grills & tables. I think these falls are my favorite place on the island.

    One of the most beautiful places in São Miguel island. There are several waterfalls in Ribeira dos Caldeirões. When you reach the parking lot, across the street is the largest and most famous waterfall called the Bride's Veil. This is the first thing we see upon arrival. This is definitely the main attraction of the park. There is a short path around to take photos. The park has a picnic area for visitors, so you can have fun there and bring your own food for a special lunch. The views are stunning! Entrance to the park and parking is completely free. Inside Ribeira dos Caldeirões there is a cafe, gift shop, handicraft center and even a play area for children. Interestingly, if you want to spend more time in this beautiful area, accommodation in typical rock houses is available.

    Beautiful park with waterfalls and lush vegetation. There are longer hikes around the area that lead you through the forest but those are a little more technical and challenging than the paved areas.

    A must visit place in the island. The nature park has many waterfalls and short trails and has no entry fee. There are free parking space and restrooms are also available. In case you are interested in buying some souvenirs for your loved ones then don't forget to check out the small shop. Also, this place is very ideal for having a picnic with your family or friends.

    Found this little hidden gem after my hike from Pico da Vara. Very easy access, nice café and souvenir shop inside, and much more.

    Beautiful park with walking and hiking paths to see waterfalls, scenery, an old mill, water features and more. Absolutely worth a stop. You could easily spend a few hours hiking or visit just for a short stroll. There's a nice gift shop too.

    This natural park is very nice and gives opportunities for hiking and other activities in a beautiful natural environment. There is a river with waterfalls and luxuriant vegetation around. Also some watermills and other old buildings. A place you have not to miss when visitin Sao Miguel island.

👍👍 One of our favourite stops we made. This place has lots of exploring to do. Is a easy version of a hike or walk. They have a gift shop, cafe/snack bar, picnic tables and barbecues. Multiple waterfalls you can walk up to and hike around. Would recommend to all.

👍👍 Winter is a great time to do this and All the 5 star reviews are spot on. My daughters and I had an experience we will never forget in Jan 2023. We did the half day and it’s a fabulous introduction to canyoning and we’d book their other tours with them. Bruno and Filipe are incredible guides who e...
