Vila Ribeira Brava – Cachaço

10,45 km

Moderado

This sector begins in the courtyard of Vila da Ribeira Brava and continues along Rua Direita, passing the City Hall and beginning a long climb that begins in the Talho area, passing through Rabona and Cruzeta. At the top of the climb you can see the entire Queimadas valley and the path that takes us to Queimadas de Baixo where, regardless of the time of year, there is always an intense smell of fruit or caramel in the air, the result of the local grogue production. From Queimadas begins the climb to Vale da Fajã, one of the greenest places in São Nicolau. With its fertile land and abundant water, this is the ideal location for agriculture in São Nicolau. The climb continues to Lompelado and from there to Cachaço, where the sector ends and where the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro do Monte Cintinha is also located.
