Salto do Cabrito, a handsome waterfall at São Miguel, Azores, Portugal
The trail is marked to be walked in the opposite way than I usually do it, but I have my reasons.
Start walking at Caldeiras da Ribeira Grande.
At Caldeiras da Ribeira Grande you can find some fumaroles bubbling on the outdoor water.
This vision is a pleasant way of starting this adventure.
You will need to start walking on the road, which I find annoying.
The good thing here is the surroundings are so lovely that it really doesn’t matter.
Anyway, you will need to keep walking until you get to a small and old electric plant.
At the electric plant, you will have to climb some stairs to access a platform.
The platform allows you to walk on top of some big tubes/pipes.
Well, you can find it odd, but you will love it.
It will allow you to have a top-bottom perspective that will be even better inside of the small canyon you will have to cross.
At the end of the canyon, you will find a beautiful waterfall called Salto do Cabrito “little goat’s jump.”
A gorgeous place.
