The walks on Flores allow you to walk the whole of the spectacular west coast of the island in 2 days passing cascading waterfalls, through abandoned villages and wonderful sub-tropical vegetation. The walks are between 9 and 11km but usually take 3 to 4 hours to complete as you’ll want to stop to enjoy the fabulous scenery. On your free day, we suggest a boat trip to nearby Corvo or a jeep tour of Flores.
