The serene viewpoints that overlook the azure sea provide perfect spots for contemplation and photography, while the charming villages, each with its unique character, invite you to experience the local way of life.

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.
