Activities

Do you love walking in nature? Then you can explore nature and venture along the trails of São Jorge.

Fajã de São João/Lourais/ Fajã dos Vimes

This route is one of the most emblematic located in the South of São Jorge Island. The microclimate of these two fajãs is characterized by the abundance of water (including streams and waterfalls) favoring the agricultural use of land and allow crops of excellent quality and rare in the Azores, such as coffee. These ex-libris constitutes a geosite of the Azores Geopark, with national relevance and scientific, pedagogical and geotouristic interest. For those who are coffee lovers, in Fajã dos Vimes you can visit the only coffee plantation in Europe, as well as the Casa de Artesanato Nunes, where the famous high point quilts are produced on old looms. After visiting the Café Nunes plantation you can enjoy a good natural coffee, with a magnificent view to the sea and to the highest mountain in Portugal - Pico.
