Travel Information
There is parking directly nearby to this beautiful viewpoint in the eastern part of Sao Miguel. Just follow the main street that's the only one leading through this area of the island.
Comin from the south side can be an adventure, worth it but not a "quick" trip up the coast. give yourself time for traveling if you want to be there for a specific time of day for photographing.
