    Road cycling

    This downhill is a pure joyride on good tarmac with great long and short distance views. A wind jacket is helpful, good brakes mandatory. There could be some mist at the beginning, so be even more careful in case the road is wet. Safe ride!

    Descent from Lagoa do Fogo – Spectacular view into the valley

    The descent from Lagoa do Fogo offers wide views over the mountain slopes down to the coast. The road winds steeply and curvily downhill, surrounded by dense vegetation and volcanic slopes. A section that impresses with its scenery and is really fun – ideal for a short photo stop along the way.
