View from Bica da Cana

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Encumeada Pass you can only hike on foot as the road is currently closed due to a landslide! Sensational view! Update: The road has been open again since May 2016!

The path is still beautiful up to this point. It gets boring on the plateau of the wind turbines.

Paul da Serra Plateau

Highlight • Natural

I wouldn't do the further path up to the first wind turbine and along the wind turbines again. It's rather boring. It's better to walk the entire Levada path back from here.
