São Jorge

The unspoiled natural surroundings and rich vegetation of São Jorge, a long and narrow island, are a pleasant surprise. The fajs, low coastal plains positioned immediately below the cliffs facing the sea, can be seen in this region of the Azores archipelago. This island is ideal for trekkers who want to spend a couple of days on foot exploring São Jorge. The coastal lowlands of Faj da Caldera di Santo Cristo, Faj do Belo, and Faj dos Cubres are reached from the Serra del Topo. Expert trekkers can also take the path that connects Norte Grande and Urzelina and continues via volcanic peaks to Pico da Esperança, the island's highest point.
