Povoação walks

This circular route through the village of Faial da Terra develops partially in the geosite of Caldeira of Povoação. Begin the walk at the center of the village and follow the marks by a road accessing agricultural fields. Along it you will cross several times the regional road, passing by the old whale watching tower, place used by the ancients to watch and locate the different cetaceans species.

Return to the shore of Lago do Fogo Starting from the car park at the foot of the slope, the road remains a wide track until it turns into a path after a hotel complex. After a steeper section, the route becomes almost flat and runs alongside an irrigation channel under the trees, finally opening out onto a clearing where several channels converge from the hills above. The viewpoint over the lake is then close by, and you can continue by following the track to the right.
