You'll learn the history, culture, and traditions manifested in geosites such as the ‘Fontanário da Ribeira Seca,’.

Moving on to the next stop, the Coroa da Mata Viewpoint, you'll travel along secondary paths, enjoying panoramic views. You'll continue to explore the lush landscapes resulting from volcanic eruptions on the north coast of the island, passing by some Viewpoints. You'll return along a dirt path along the coast, observing the unforgettable landscape until you're back on the city streets.
