Then, we will head to the volcanic formations of Ponta dos Rosais, a steep cape that towers over the sea at 650 feet above sea level - this landscape is truly breathtaking! We'll continue the route in the minibus to the Fajã de João Dias viewpoint - see how the dense vegetation and the Atlantic merge!
