Trail Reviews

June 13, 2025, Ermitage Nossa Senhora da Paz

We hiked to one of the most photographed spots in the Azores in rainy weather. The trail starts in the village from the paid parking lot and leads up the streets. There's also a free parking lot at the top, but it's sure to be busy in good weather. Afterward, we walked a bit through the village, which would certainly have looked even better in better weather.
