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 ❤️

Beautiful walk, beautiful waterfall - Although it was extremely hot and there was high humidity we were able to take a nice walk. Mario (the guide) took into account the pace of everyone in the group

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.

Beautiful Hike - Must see - This was such a pleasant hike. Diogo was a great guide. He was patient with us when we had some nerves about parts of the hike. He made good conversation. He was on time. Overall a wonderful experience.

You definitely want to do this!! - So much more than just a hike! Dani have us in depth insight into the history and culture of Sao Miguel on the drive to the hiking spot and then we took a different route home to see and learn even more. The hike was fantastic! It was very lush and we got to not only visit the waterfall, but an abandoned village that is starting renovations. Easy hike in my opinion, but I’m a big hiker. No one in our group struggled with it, but it was a nice little work out.

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.
