This Faial da Terra hike to Salto do Prego takes you into one of São Miguel’s most authentic natural corners. The trail moves through dense vegetation, river scenery, fruit trees, an old watermill and traces of rural life before reaching the Salto do Prego waterfall, a fresh, lively and deeply calming place.

This is not just a walk: it is an immersion into the green soul of the Azores. The passage through the old village of Sanguinho adds a local and cultural touch, with traditional buildings and an atmosphere that feels almost suspended.
