Walking Trail North Route

This Walking Trail is a hike through the footsteps of the past, where sustainability was based on the perfect symbiosis, between Man and Nature...

This is a trail that goes through the six fajãs of Norte Pequeno on the north coast of Sao Jorge island. This walk is an authentic "travel" to the past, a revival of a culture where sustainability is based on the perfect symbiosis between man and nature.

The walk begins in the center of Norte Pequeno until the sightseeing of Mero ("rock edge"). At this point we can see by the sea Fajã dos Azevinhos, Mero and Penedia as well as to our left Fajã da Ribeira D’Areia.

North Route Walking Trails in Sao Jorge island in Azores

The descent to the Fajãs is done by a path covered by large trees and lush vegetation, where at certain points we see some of the Fajãs by the sea. Many are the stories about these paths that will be told by our guides, who have learned them from the locals’ real experiences of those tough people who populate, today, these places that remain intact and preserved.

 

Arriving to Fajã do Mero, we will visit a typical house of Fajã and meet one of the few resistant to the desertification of fajãs. Then we continue to Fajã da Penedia, Fajã da Abelheira and Fajã das Funduras. The route up the coast is of easy progression.
