How to get there - Ponta Do Sol
La Boca de Ambas
Steps: Ponta Do Sol
Ponta do Sol
- Boca de Ambas - Cruzinha da Garça (4 to 5 hours walk, 500 m ascent, 750 m difference in altitude). Transfer, from your accommodation in "alluguer", to Boca de Ambas. At the entrance of Boca de Ambas, on your right, we start our hike by a paved path, which will lead you to the ridges to pass the Selada de Mocho pass before going down to the Ribeira da Garça. You will have a superb view of the village of Cha da Igreja and its white church, if you have any strength left, make the detour before continuing your descent towards the ocean and the small fishing port of Cruzinha da Garça. Night and dinner in Sona Fish at Isualina (tel. + 238 226 1027 - [email protected])Beautiful hike between sea and cliffs
Steps: Ponta Do Sol
Cruzinha da Garça - Fontainhas - Ponta do sol (4 to 5 hours walk, ascent and descent 500 m). The next day, probably. This hike is one of the most beautiful that I have ever done, a very beautiful route between sea and cliffs, discovering hamlets at the end of the world. We will alternate ascents and descents on a balcony path until Ponta do Sol, crossing Fontainhas, without any doubt the most beautiful village of the island. A last pass and here we are, overlooking the small, obsolete and practically unused airport of Ponta do Sol.
