Tour 54 – Around Ribeirinha

A leisurely stroll through the sprawling east

The majority of buildings in the east of Faial Ribeirinha was destroyed in a severe earthquake in 1998. The collapsed church and the lighthouse, shattered into rubble, are prominent reminders of this destruction that we pass along the way. At the edge of the forest, we first climb up to pastureland. We then return to the coast via a ridge. Those who wish can take a break for a swim at the end of the circular hike.
