    Begin your journey at the Salto do Cabrito Waterfall, a striking manifestation of the region's geothermal power. Approximately 40 meters high, the water plunges from a rocky precipice covered in moss and ferns.

    Next, head to the Limbo Waterfall, an oasis of serenity and accessibility. It is a modest waterfall in terms of height, but of remarkable picturesque beauty. The surroundings are dominated by the vibrant green of the vegetation and, seasonally, by the explosions of color from the blue and white hydrangeas that line the path. It's a place for easy contemplation and rest, accessible to all visitors.

    Parque Natural da Ribeira dos Caldeiroes

    Continue to the Ribeira dos Caldeirões Waterfall, perhaps the most emblematic and photographed in the Azores. It is not one, but several waterfalls that are harmoniously distributed in a well-maintained park in Nordeste. The main waterfall is majestic, with water falling in a veil over a natural stone. The park is a perfect symbiosis between human intervention and nature, where old stone watermills from the 16th century have been restored and integrated into the landscape. The contrast between the rustic architecture, the stone bridges, the emerald green of the vegetation, and the purity of the flowing water creates a fairytale setting, easily accessible and enchanting with its scenic beauty and landscaping.

    Trilho Moinho do Felix - Cascatas

    Next, visit the Teófilo Waterfall, situated in a valley area near the ruins of the old Félix Mill, accessible via a footpath that follows a circular route. This waterfall is one of several found along the Ribeira da Salga stream. Its beauty lies in the lush, humid environment of the valley, surrounded by dense vegetation, making it a picturesque spot in the heart of the rain forest. The Gruta Waterfall, named for its association with rock formations or a small cave nearby, also resides in a riverside setting with abundant vegetation. This creates a cool and natural atmosphere for visitors to enjoy.
