Already fascinating the thought of how many decades it would take to dig such a huge hole?

Unfortunately, the trail on the ridge is really a nuisance (October 4, 2024)
I didn't take the other user's review seriously.
Our legs and arms were completely scratched and torn. …

Difficult access due to extremely dense vegetation, so don't come here on shorts to avoid leg scratches and scars. But extremely awesome view over the sea all along the crest.

View of the Arrábida Coast

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path over the ridge is a little overgrown in places. You don't do many meters in a short time.

I do not recommend this hike in July, the viewpoints are hidden by the spiky leafy vegetation located all along the ridges... Better long sleeves and pants to venture there... There are definitely better to do in the area

The path was extremly difficult. Do not recommended. Badly marked, dangerous uproaches, most of the track you go hidden in the bushes that harm your skin and can make big damages, as the track is not mentained at all. We made 10km walk that became 12km (gps didn't register all passage) not in 2:50 but in 6 hours. The views …
I would recommend to hike the other way around but for us weather as a bit unpredictable and we due to this we did went along the coast first.
