Day Hike to Sanguinho - We enjoyed the hike to the waterfall and old village. The scenery was beautiful despite the rain during part of the hike. Philippe provided historical knowledge to help fill in the story of this beautiful island and did a wonderful job!

Excellent and enjoyable - This is a very interesting walk of medium difficulty. Walking poles are useful. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable, she drove us very competently and took us to several view points on the way back. Thank you.

Marie Alexandersson - A nice excursion, with moderately challenging hiking. The waterfall was amazing and the view along the way hard to beat. Don't miss this if you visit the Azores ❤️

Amazing trail - This hike was really amazing! The views were really stunning. We absolutely recommand this hike. Clara, our guide, was really amazing. She knew a lot about nature and is so passionate about the island and the nature that it made the experience unforgettable. We were really lucky to have her as a guide.

Wonderful day of hiking - Claire was an excellent guide. She informed us of the different types of plants we saw along the way. She made sure to monitor the pace so that nobody was far behind. The scenery was changing and interesting.

Waterfalls - Nice, easy to follow trail that's a loop and I suggest going left and getting the majority of the climbing done first and finishing through an old village that's mostly downhill on a stone pathway. Several waterfalls are visible and the largest one at the 1/2 way point.

Beautiful hike and scenery at a popular trailhead - I had a great time on the tour with Joao as our guide. It was as advertised, and Joao was quite knowledgeable and friendly to all of us guests. The waterfall and hike up to Sanghuino were lovely, and the scenery was stunning. As an experienced back country hiker, this was a fairly popular trail on the weekend and kind of crowded in the afternoon. I bet earlier in the morning and during the week might present less busy options for this beautiful trail and waterfall.

Was ok - It was ok. Lots of driving for a short hike. Nice countryside. Colourful chicken in the way. Waterfall looks nice, we were unlucky to see murky water that day. Overall I would not say this your is a must… There are very many tours packed with local attractions. I suggest to add some other attractions to that day/tour to make it more appealing.
