Cascata do Salto do Prego
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The actual starting point for the trail is few hundreds meters south from the pin Google routes you to. You will find a small parking with a sign pointing the direction to Sossego. The trail takes around 35mins down and then 45 mins back up. You start going downwards about 1km then see a sign with t...

Aldeia do Sanguinho eco village
Indoor lodging
👍👍 Beatiful trail that leads up to a waterfall. Don't forget to bring your swimsuit because taking a dip in the waters is a must. Exploring the old village before the trail or after is definitely advised.

Miradouro da Vista dos Barcos
Tourist attraction
👍👍 It is such a lovely view of Farol do Arnel lighthouse! There is a parking for several cars (free) and you just climb a few steps and there it is! Have in mind that the place is very, very windy.

Café Adelino ( Dinis )
Restaurant
👍👍 In this tiny little town lays a perfect little slice of authentic island living.
The second you get near the bridge you hear the voices of the locals chatting about their day, sharing stories of a time gone by.
The menu is small, but perfect for a quick meal and without any doubt in my mind, Dinis...

Cascata da Ribeira Quente
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Access is in the middle of the tunnel to the right. Land looks unstable so be careful! Can’t quite access the waterfall without climbing through the stream but there are 5min paths to get closer to enjoy views.

Povoação Beach
Tourist attraction
😐 No water in the public pool and there wasn't a direct access to the "Beach" only a platform with stairs and a ladder to the harbor basin. But the view was worth the visit, especially cause it started to rain and in interaction with the sun we were lucky to see a very impressive rainbow 🌈

Snack Bar O Garoto
Restaurant
😐 Service was excellent, polite and spoke English. Food was a little disappointing to me after many reviews got me excited for it, but for the price, it served its purpose and filled me up.
Not sure why my regional burger was spicy, when I was already getting spicy wings. Being upfront about shorting...

Trilho do Sanguinho
Hiking area
👍👍 Magical hike. Adventurous. Lots of elevation and climbing up the valley to the ridge. Steep at times. Waterfalls. Beautiful sounds of the forest. TIP: Hiking poles are a nice piece of gear as the trail can be slippery, muddy, steep.

Reserva Florestal de Recreio da Cancela do Cinzeiro

👍👍 My little brother cried when we were here because “someone worked so hard on this park and no one is here to appreciate it!”
This is an amazing spot and it was nearly empty. There was a nice little family of 3 with their dog playing at the play set and cooking something on the grills.
Wish we woul...

Azores Essentials Lda.

👍👍 Fantastic experience having the geothermal brunch hosted by Paula. The venue is privately booked for your brunch and right by the side of the hot springs. Paula was a brilliant host, taking time to explain the history and science behind the local food and drinks, while also giving space for us to en...
