Here you will have the chance to walk from fajã (coastal plain) to fajã and wind your way between the eerie green craters on the top of the island before descending to a pretty coastal village for a refreshing dip in the ocean. Walks are 9-18km taking between 3.5 and 5 hours. On your free day, why not swim in the natural rock pools in Velas or take a taxi out to see the pretty forest park of Sete Fontes.
