Fábrica da Vila Hydroelectric Plant Ruins

Highlight • Monument

The ruins of the old power plants are in danger of collapsing and are no longer allowed to be entered. Information boards tell about the history of the factories, absolutely worth seeing and impressive, how quickly nature reclaims its territory.

View over Lagoa do Fogo

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the natural highlights of the island, if not of the islands. Surrounded by the cries of seagulls, you approach this lake, which shines in blue or green depending on the sunshine.

Serra de Água de Pau Valley

Highlight • Forest

In April - May the seagulls living here were brewing. They can become aggressive if you annoy them.

Serra de Água de Pau Rainwater Collection System

Highlight • Structure

A very varied tour that is also a bit more demanding. Be sure to have warm, windproof clothing with you. For me a highlight of the island tours.

Water Collection System of Lagoa do Fogo

Highlight • Structure

Here rainwater is collected for water supply and for the hydroelectric power plant Fábrica Nova from 1927. The water channel (Levada) as a power station feed line starts here

Levada Trail 07 to Lagoa Azul

Highlight • Trail

A fascinating route along the levada that leads to the rainwater collection system and the Blue Lagoon. It is one of the most beautiful trails on the Island. For running, it is best to use the trail to go up and down the road next door.
