Description
Leave the busy beach behind and head to the almost-abandoned side of the island. Immerse yourself in the unique quietness of the area and the closeness to nature in this lightly-walked area.
Explore a protected reserve, home to many rare endemic plants and invertebrates. Walk along the PR1 Porto Santo walking route along the mountainside path with plenty of protection to a staircase to the top of the second-highest mountain on the island, Pico Branco, with its 480m sea cliff.
Continue along a turn-off to the tree-lined Terra Cha, one of the most incredibly scenic picnic spots on the island.
