São Jorge

This linear route, along the mountain range, covers the central area of the island between Pico do Pedro, passing by Pico da Esperança, highest point of the island with 1053 meters and ends in Fajã do Ouvidor in the North coast. The path develops partially through the central volcanic range, between 800 and 1000 meters high, being advisable to do so in days of good weather and visibility.

Este percurso linear atravessa a costa sul da ilha, entre Fajã de São João, passando por Lourais, Fajã dos Bodes e terminando em Fajã dos Vimes. Após dias de chuva intensa, evite o trilho entre Lourais e Fajã dos Vimes devido à dificuldade em atravessar os ribeiros. O trilho começa perto do café local, de onde se pode admirar as ruas estreitas de calçada tradicional e as pequenas casas. Passe pela igreja e siga em direção noroeste até Lourais. Saindo de Fajã, atravesse pequenos campos agrícolas com culturas tradicionais como a vinha, o milho e o inhame.
